How it works
- The 3D breakdown: We start with a quick intro to the "anamorphic" technique—learning how to trick the eye into seeing depth on a flat surface.
- Safety first: Get geared up in your protective mask and overalls while our pro artist gives you the lowdown on can control.
- Sketching the illusion: Using chalk or pencils, we'll map out the perspective lines that make your 3D art "pop" from the ground or wall.
- Mastering the can: Practice basic spray techniques like dots, lines, and fades on a practice board before hitting the main piece.
- Fill and flow: Start blocking in the colours of your 3D design, learning how to layer paint for a professional finish.
- The secret of shadows: Apply light and dark shades—this is where the magic happens and your art truly starts to look three-dimensional.
- The finishing touch: Add sharp outlines and highlights to make the details stand out against the Dublin backdrop.
- The photo op: Find the "sweet spot" (the exact angle where the 3D effect works) and snap some mind-bending photos of your creation!

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be good at drawing to join a 3D street art workshop?
No artistic experience is required at all! Our Dublin workshops are designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of 3D techniques, from perspective lines to shading, ensuring you walk away with a piece of art you're proud of. It's all about having a laugh and trying something new in a supportive environment.
What materials are included in the workshop?
We provide everything you need to become a street artist for the day. This includes high-quality spray cans in a variety of colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space and all necessary sketching materials. Just bring yourself and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on!
How long does a typical session last?
Standard 3D street art workshops in Dublin typically last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the theory of anamorphic art, practice some spray techniques, and complete a full 3D masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a larger group event, we can easily customise the duration to fit your needs.
Is the spray paint safe to use?
Safety is our number one priority. We use low-odour, high-quality spray paints and provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to all participants. Our artists provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We also ensure workshops take place in well-ventilated areas or outdoors to keep the air fresh and the experience comfortable for everyone.
Is this workshop suitable for children?
Absolutely! 3D street art is a brilliant activity for kids' parties and school groups. While we recommend a minimum age of around 8 years old to handle the spray cans effectively, we can adapt the techniques for younger children. It's a fantastic way for kids to learn about geometry and perspective while getting messy in a creative, controlled way.
What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?
One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We have a large team of backup artists in the Dublin area, so even if an instructor falls ill, your event will go ahead as planned. We also have access to various indoor locations, so the Irish rain won't dampen our spirits or your creativity!
Do I need to pay in advance for the workshop?
We understand that plans can change. That's why we don't require any upfront payment to secure your booking. You can pay after the workshop is completed and you're 100% satisfied with the experience. We want the booking process to be as stress-free as the workshop itself, allowing you to focus on the art.
