How it works

  1. Intro and safety briefing: We kick things off with a quick look at safety gear and how to handle the spray cans like a pro.
  2. The 3D concept: Our artists explain the 'anamorphic' secret—how to draw something that looks flat but appears 3D from your camera lens.
  3. Sketching the illusion: You'll start by outlining your 3D design using chalk or light spray paint to get the perspective just right.
  4. Filling and fading: Learn how to use gradients and fades to give your art volume and depth.
  5. Shadow work: This is the secret sauce! We'll show you how to add shadows that make your art 'lift' off the ground.
  6. The final highlights: Add those crisp lines and bright highlights that make the 3D effect truly 'pop.'
  7. The photo op: We'll help you find the 'golden angle' to take incredible photos of your 3D creation to share on socials!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join the 3D workshop?

Absolutely! Most of our workshop participants in Hamilton have never touched a spray can before. Our pro artists specialize in teaching the basics from scratch. We start with safety and nozzle control before moving into the 'optical illusion' techniques that make 3D art pop. You'll be amazed at what you can create in just a few hours with the right guidance. Our goal is to make sure you leave feeling like a total pro.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint, and our instructors provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone starts spraying. We typically host these sessions in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spaces in Hamilton to ensure everyone breathes easy while they create their masterpieces.

How is 3D street art different from regular graffiti?

The 3D street art workshop focuses on perspective and 'anamorphic' art, which means the drawing looks three-dimensional from a specific angle. Standard graffiti workshops focus more on 2D lettering and tags. In the 3D session, we spend more time planning the geometry and shadows to create that cool 'bridge over a canyon' or 'hole in the ground' effect that looks incredible in photos.

What happens if it rains on the day of my Hamilton workshop?

Hamilton weather can be unpredictable! For outdoor workshops, we always have a backup plan. If light rain is expected, we can often work under cover. If the weather is truly uncooperative, we can move the session to an indoor location or reschedule to a better day. We also have backup artists on standby to ensure your event goes off without a hitch regardless of staff illness.

What should I bring to the workshop?

We provide everything you need! This includes a wide variety of spray paint colours, caps (nozzles), protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the 'canvas'—which could be a floor, a temporary wall, or large boards depending on your preference. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting a little dusty. We handle the setup and the cleanup so you can focus on the art.

How long does a typical 3D street art session last?

We are very flexible! While we recommend 1.5 to 3 hours to really get the hang of the 3D techniques, we can adapt the duration to fit your event schedule. Smaller groups often find 2 hours perfect, while larger corporate groups or festivals might prefer a longer, 'drop-in' style format. Let us know your timeline, and we will build a custom program that fits your Hamilton event perfectly.
