How it works
- The warm-up: We start with a quick intro to the world of 3D street art and show you some mind-bending examples to get your brain in 'anamorphic' mode. 🎨
- Master the can: Before going 3D, our pros teach you the basics of spray painting—handling the nozzle, controlling pressure, and making clean lines.
- The secret of perspective: We reveal the geometry behind 3D art. You'll learn how to stretch shapes so they look 'flat' from one side but jump out from the other!
- Sketching the illusion: Using chalk or light spray, we'll map out the design on the ground or a large board, ensuring the vanishing points are spot on.
- Layering and shading: This is where the magic happens! You'll use different tones to create depth, shadows, and highlights that trick the eye into seeing volume. 🪄
- Adding the details: Refine your work with 'tags', highlights, and sharp outlines to make the 3D effect really pop under the Galway sun (or clouds!).
- The 'money shot' photo: We help you find the exact 'sweet spot' to stand so you can take a photo of your art looking perfectly three-dimensional.
- The big reveal: Step back, check out everyone else's work, and enjoy the satisfaction of seeing your 3D creation come to life on the Galway pavement!

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an artist to join a 3D street art workshop in Galway?
Absolutely not! Our Galway 3D street art workshops are designed for everyone, from those who can't draw a straight line to seasoned artists. Our professional street artists guide you through every step, teaching you the 'tricks of the eye' that make images pop. We focus on fun and expression, so you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you can create with just a bit of guidance and a spray can. By the end of the session, you'll have the skills and confidence to create art that truly stands out.
What should I bring to the workshop?
We provide everything you need to get creative! This includes premium spray paint in a huge range of colours, high-quality canvases or boards, and all necessary protective gear like gloves, masks, and aprons. We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little paint on, as even with protection, things can get messy! Just bring your enthusiasm and perhaps some ideas, and we’ll handle the rest of the logistics for your creative session.
Is the spray painting process safe?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality FFP2 masks and gloves to all participants to ensure a safe environment. All our workshops are led by experienced professionals who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use low-pressure cans that are easier to control and premium paints. If we are working indoors, we ensure the area is well-ventilated, or we can set up in one of Galway's many beautiful outdoor locations for a fresh-air experience.
How long does a typical session last?
A standard 3D street art workshop in Galway typically lasts between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of street art, practice basic spray techniques, learn the specific geometry of 3D anamorphic art, and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. We can also tailor the duration for specific events like festivals or corporate team-building days to fit your schedule perfectly. We ensure the pace is energetic and keeps everyone engaged throughout.
Where in Galway do the workshops take place?
We are incredibly flexible! We can host workshops at various partner locations across Galway, or we can come directly to you. Whether it's a school yard, a community centre, a festival ground, or even your company’s car park, we can set up a mobile street art studio almost anywhere. We just need a flat surface and a bit of space to let the creativity flow. If you're unsure about a location, just ask, and we can help find the perfect spot.
What happens if it rains on the day of my workshop?
Yes! While we love the vibe of outdoor street art, we are well-prepared for the 'Wild Atlantic Way' weather. We have access to several indoor spaces in Galway where we can spray safely. Alternatively, we can use pop-up gazebos or relocate to your indoor venue. We also have a 'backup artist' policy, meaning your event is guaranteed to go ahead even if something unexpected crops up. Rain or shine, the art doesn't stop!
How much does a 3D street art workshop cost?
Pricing usually ranges between €30 and €60 per person. The final cost depends on factors like the size of your group, the duration of the workshop, the quantity of materials needed, and the specific location. Large school groups or big corporate events often benefit from reduced per-person rates. Because every event is unique, we recommend reaching out for a custom quote so we can give you the most accurate pricing for your specific Galway street art adventure.
