Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an artist to join a 3D street art workshop?
Absolutely not! Our 3D street art workshop in Lisbon is designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of perspective and spray can control. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you can create a 'popping' effect once we show you the professional tricks of the trade. It's all about having fun and letting your imagination run wild.
Is the paint safe and what protective gear is provided?
Safety is our top priority while we're making art. We provide high-quality FFP2 or FFP3 masks to protect you from fumes, as well as gloves and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We always recommend wearing old clothes and sneakers just in case. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas or outdoor spots across Lisbon to ensure a comfortable and safe environment for everyone involved.
How long does a typical 3D spray painting session last?
A standard 3D street art session usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief introduction to graffiti culture, a sketching phase to plan your 3D optical illusion, and plenty of time for the actual painting. If you're looking for a more intensive masterclass, we can easily extend the duration to fit your group's specific needs and goals.
What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?
Lisbon is famous for its '7 hills' and sunshine, but we always have a plan B! If the weather looks like it might rain on our outdoor parade, we have various indoor locations and covered spots available. Alternatively, we can reschedule the session or use large canvases in a sheltered environment. Our 'backup artist' policy also ensures that your event goes ahead even if an artist is unavailable.
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
We are incredibly flexible! Whether you are a small group of friends (minimum usually around 5-10 people) or a massive corporate team of 200 members, we can accommodate you. For larger groups, we bring in extra professional artists to ensure everyone gets personal guidance. It’s a fantastic way to bond, whether you're celebrating a bachelor party in Faro or a team-building event right here in Lisbon.
Do I need to pay in advance to book a workshop?
We believe in a stress-free booking experience. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your date. After the workshop is complete and you're 100% satisfied with your 3D masterpiece, we will handle the payment. This ensures you get exactly what you signed up for: a high-energy, creative, and professional street art experience in the heart of Portugal's capital.
Can I take my 3D artwork home with me after the session?
While we often use high-quality legal street art walls or dedicated plastic 'cellograff' walls for our workshops, the techniques you learn are yours forever. We teach you the principles of anamorphic art and 3D perspective which can be applied to canvas, wood, or paper. Most of our Lisbon workshops involve creating a group mural, but we can also arrange for individual canvases if you'd like to take your work home!
