How it works
- Intro & inspiration: We start with a high-energy intro to the world of 3D street art. You'll see examples of how perspective can turn a flat surface into a deep hole or a floating object.
- Mastering the tools: Our pro artists show you how to handle a spray can correctly, from nozzle control to achieving different line thicknesses and textures without the drips.
- Sketching the illusion: Before painting, you'll sketch your 3D design on a canvas or wall. This is where we plan our vanishing points to ensure the "wow" factor works from the right angle.
- First layers: We start by blocking in the main shapes and background colours, setting the stage for the depth that's about to come.
- Adding dimension: This is the secret sauce! You'll learn how to apply highlights and shadows to create the illusion of 3D depth and volume.
- Refining details: Time to sharpen those edges and add fine details that make your artwork pop. Our instructors will move around the group to give you personalized 1-on-1 tips.
- The "Photo Op" reveal: We'll show you exactly where to stand to take the perfect photo of your 3D piece, making it look like it's jumping off the surface!

Do I need to be an artist to join a 3D street art workshop?
Absolutely not! Our 3D street art workshops in Oulu are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists will guide you through the process, starting with basic shapes and progressing to those mind-bending optical illusions. We focus on fun and expression, so don't worry about your drawing skills—you'll be amazed at what you can achieve with a spray can and a few expert tips.
What materials are included in the workshop?
We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece! This includes high-quality spray paint in a huge range of colours, professional-grade masks, gloves, and protective suits to keep your clothes clean. We also provide the canvases or designated wall space and all necessary sketching materials. Just bring your enthusiasm and wear some comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty while you work!
Is the paint safe and what safety gear do you provide?
Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all participants with professional FFP2 or FFP3 masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. We also provide gloves and protective overalls. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated areas, and our experienced instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We make sure the environment is controlled, creative, and completely safe.
How long does a typical workshop session last?
A standard 3D street art session in Oulu usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, a demo of 3D techniques, sketching your design, and the actual painting process. We find this is the 'sweet spot' where you have enough time to get into the flow without getting too tired. If you have a specific schedule, we can often adjust the duration to fit!
What happens if it rains or snows on the day?
The weather in Oulu can be unpredictable, but we've got you covered! We have access to several indoor locations and sheltered areas where we can host the workshop regardless of the rain or snow. If you've booked an outdoor session and the weather looks truly terrible, we can usually pivot to one of our indoor partner spaces or reschedule the event to ensure you have the best possible experience.
Can we book a workshop for a very large group?
We love hosting groups of all sizes! Whether you are a small group of friends (minimum usually around 5-10 people) or a massive corporate team of 100+, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in extra artists to ensure everyone gets personal attention and guidance. If you have a specific group size in mind, just let us know and we will tailor the setup perfectly for you.
Do I need to pay in advance to secure my booking?
No, you don't need to pay anything upfront when booking with us. We believe in the quality of our workshops, so we offer a 'pay after the event' policy. This gives you peace of mind and flexibility. Once the workshop is finished and you're happy with your 3D creations, we'll handle the payment. It's all part of our commitment to a stress-free, 100% satisfaction-guaranteed experience for our Oulu clients.
