Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have any previous art experience to join?
Absolutely not! Our 3D street art workshop in Drogheda is designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists break down the complex geometry of 3D effects into simple, easy-to-follow steps. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can create depth and perspective on a flat surface. It’s all about having fun, experimenting with spray cans, and discovering your inner artist in a relaxed environment.
What materials are included in the workshop?
We’ve got you fully covered! Graffitifun provides all the professional-grade spray paint, specialized nozzles, and safety gear (gloves and masks) you'll need. We also provide the canvases or boards for your 3D masterpieces. Just make sure to wear old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of 'artistic' paint on, as graffiti is a hands-on and sometimes messy process!
Is the workshop safe, and what about the fumes?
Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary protective equipment, including respiratory masks and gloves. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoors whenever possible. Our expert instructors also provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience for all participants in Drogheda.
How long does a typical session last?
The 3D graffiti experience typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to street art history, a demonstration of 3D techniques like shadows and vanishing points, and plenty of hands-on time for you to complete your project. We find this is the 'sweet spot' for staying creative without getting too tired from standing and spraying!
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
Our workshops are highly flexible! We can host small, intimate groups of friends or large corporate teams of over 100 people. For larger groups in Drogheda, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal guidance. Whether it's a birthday bash, a team-building event, or a school project, we scale our setup to fit your specific needs and group size perfectly.
How does the payment process work?
We believe in a hassle-free booking experience. You don't need to pay anything upfront! You can book your date and confirm the details, and payment is only handled after the workshop has taken place. This keeps things simple for organisers. We also have backup artists on standby, so you never have to worry about a last-minute cancellation ruining your creative plans.
What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?
While we can’t control the Irish weather, we always have a plan B! If you've booked an outdoor session and it looks like rain, we can often move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or an indoor space with proper ventilation. We’ll coordinate with you leading up to the event to ensure that the creative energy keeps flowing, regardless of what the clouds are doing over the Boyne!
