Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a talented artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our 3D street art workshop in Lubumbashi is designed for everyone, from total novices to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists break down complex perspective techniques into easy-to-follow steps. You'll move from basic lines to creating depth and shadows before you know it. We focus on the process and having a blast, so just bring your enthusiasm and we will handle the rest!

How does the 3D effect actually work?

The magic of 3D street art lies in 'anamorphosis'—painting an image that looks distorted from most angles but pops into three dimensions from one specific spot. During the session, we'll teach you how to use vanishing points, forced perspective, and clever shading to trick the eye. It is a mix of geometry and creativity that results in mind-blowing optical illusions.

What materials are included in the session?

We've got you covered! We provide high-quality spray cans, specialized caps for different line widths, protective suits, gloves, and masks. Depending on the venue, we use large-scale canvases, boards, or designated wall spaces. You just need to wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit of 'creative dust' on—though our suits are very reliable!

Is the workshop safe for everyone?

Yes, safety is our priority. We use low-pressure spray cans which are easier to control, and we provide all necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including masks and gloves. Our instructors are professional artists who prioritize a safe working environment, especially when working with younger participants or large groups in public spaces. We ensure proper ventilation at all times.

Where in Lubumbashi do these workshops take place?

We are very flexible! We can host workshops at your office, a local school, a public festival ground, or one of our partner creative spots in Lubumbashi. If you don't have a venue, let us know and we will find the perfect urban backdrop for your 3D masterpiece. We bring the 'street' to wherever you are comfortable.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Standard 3D workshops usually last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a crash course in perspective drawing, and the actual painting process. If you are looking for something more intensive for a corporate brand activation or a large festival, we can extend the session or spread it over multiple days.

Can I book a session as an individual?

While we mainly focus on group bookings for team building, schools, and parties, we do occasionally run open-enrolment sessions. Your best bet is to send us a message! If you have a group of five or more friends, we can easily set up a private session just for you at a time that fits your schedule.
