How it works

  1. Introduction to perspective: We start with a quick chat about how 3D art works and the secret 'anamorphic' tricks used by the pros to make flat images pop!
  2. Safety first: Suit up in our professional protective gear. We'll show you how to use your mask and gloves properly so you stay clean and safe.
  3. Can control 101: Head to the practice wall to learn the basics. You'll master distance, speed, and how to swap caps for different effects.
  4. Sketching the illusion: Using chalk or light paint, we'll map out the 'sweet spot'—the specific angle where your art will look three-dimensional.
  5. Filling and fading: This is where the magic happens! You'll start layering colors and creating gradients to give your artwork depth and volume.
  6. Sharpening the edges: Use 'cut-ins' and outlines to make your 3D shapes look crisp and realistic against the background.
  7. The 'Drop Shadow' trick: We'll teach you how to add shadows that make your art look like it's floating right off the surface.
  8. The final reveal: Step to the designated viewing point, grab your camera, and watch as your 2D painting transforms into a 3D masterpiece!
  9. Photo session and cleanup: Capture your creation from every angle for the 'gram, then we'll handle all the cleanup so you can head off to enjoy Kobe.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any prior art experience to join?

Absolutely! Our 3D street art workshops in Kobe are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of perspective and spray can control. You don't need to be 'good at drawing' to create something that looks amazing from the right angle. We're all about having fun and discovering your inner street artist in a relaxed atmosphere.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, shoe covers, and gloves, those tiny paint particles can sometimes find their way onto your sneakers or sleeves. Think of it as your 'artist outfit'! If you're coming straight from work or a fancy dinner in Sannomiya, don't worry—our gear is very effective at keeping you clean.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade masks to ensure you aren't breathing in any fumes, along with gloves and protective suits. All the spray paint we use is high-quality and safe for recreational use. Our instructors are also trained to manage the workshop environment, ensuring everyone stays safe while having a blast. Just follow the artist's lead, and you'll be golden.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard workshops usually run between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of 3D street art, practice some basic techniques on the wall, and then dive into the main project where you create your 'optical illusion' masterpiece. If you're booking for a corporate event or a large school group in Kobe, we can definitely adjust the timing to fit your specific schedule.

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

Rain or shine, the creativity doesn't stop! We have access to several covered and indoor locations throughout Kobe where we can host the workshop regardless of the weather. If you've booked an outdoor session and the forecast looks gloomy, we'll reach out to coordinate a move to one of our indoor studio spaces so your 3D art doesn't wash away before it's finished.

Are all materials included in the price?

We take care of everything! Your booking includes all the professional spray cans you'll need, a variety of caps for different line widths, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the surface we'll be painting on (canvases or a dedicated wall). You just need to bring your enthusiasm and maybe a phone to take plenty of photos of your work. We provide the tools; you provide the soul!

Can you accommodate large groups or school classes?

We love helping with big groups! Whether it's a school trip, a creative team-building day, or a massive bachelor party, we can accommodate groups of almost any size. For very large groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets personalized attention and guidance. Just let us know your head count when requesting a quote, and we'll scale the experience to fit your needs perfectly.
