How it works
- Introduction & inspiration: Meet your pro artist and dive into the world of Joburg’s street art scene. We’ll show you examples of 3D tricks that will blow your mind.
- Mastering the gear: Learn the 'can-control' basics. We’ll teach you how different caps (nozzles) change the spray width and how to move your arm for smooth lines.
- Sketching the illusion: Using chalk or light paint, we’ll sketch the foundations of your 3D design, focusing on vanishing points to create that 'pop-out' effect.
- Layering colours: Start filling in your piece. We’ll guide you on using gradients and colour transitions to build volume and depth.
- Shadows & highlights: This is the secret sauce! Learn where to add dark shadows and bright highlights to trick the eye into seeing three dimensions.
- Sharpening the edges: Add the final outlines and 'cuts' to make your artwork look sharp and professional.
- The 'Angle' check: Find the 'Sweet Spot'—the specific angle where your 3D art comes to life for the perfect photo opportunity.
- Photoshoot & wrap-up: Capture your masterpiece on camera and celebrate your new skills with the team!

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any prior drawing or painting skills to participate?
Absolutely! No prior art experience is needed to enjoy our 3D street art workshop in Jozi. Our professional artists walk you through everything from basic spray can control to the logic of perspective. We focus on fun and expression, so whether you can barely draw a stick figure or you're a regular Picasso, you'll leave with a piece of art you're proud of.✨
What should I wear to the workshop?
We suggest wearing old clothes and sneakers that you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' (aka paint) on. While we provide protective ponchos and gloves, spray paint is adventurous and can sometimes find its way onto your sleeves or shoes. It’s all part of the authentic street art experience in the heart of Johannesburg! 👟
Is the spray paint safe to use?
Safety is our top priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective gear. The sprays we use are professional-grade but require proper handling, which is why our artists give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can. We ensure the environment is well-ventilated and comfortable for everyone involved. 🛡️
How long does a typical 3D street art session last?
Our standard workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This duration is perfect for learning the history of 3D street art, practicing your technique, and completing a full masterpiece. We can also tailor the timing for corporate events or festivals in Johannesburg if you have a tighter schedule to keep. ⏱️
What materials are included in the price?
Everything is included! We provide the spray cans in a rainbow of colours, caps/nozzles, protective gear (masks, gloves, ponchos), and the canvases or wall space. You just need to bring your energy and creativity. We even handle the setup and the cleanup afterwards, so you can focus entirely on the art. 🎨
Can you host the workshop at my own location?
We love bringing the vibe to you! We can host the workshop at one of our partner urban locations in Johannesburg, or we can come to your office, school, or backyard. As long as there is adequate ventilation and space for the group, we are happy to set up our mobile street art studio wherever you are. 📍
How do I book and when do I pay?
Booking is easy and risk-free. You can request a quote online, and once the details are confirmed, your date is set. The best part? There’s no upfront payment required — you pay after the workshop is complete. We also have backup artists available to ensure your event always goes ahead as planned. 🏆
