How it works

  1. The 3D breakdown: We start with a quick intro to the 'optical illusion' side of street art, explaining how to make flat surfaces look three-dimensional.
  2. Safety first: Get geared up in your overalls and masks while our pro artists give you the low-down on can control and safety.
  3. Sketching the depth: Grab the chalk and map out your perspective lines on the canvas or wall to create that 'pop-out' effect.
  4. Mastering the shades: Learn the 'shadow and highlight' technique—this is the secret sauce that makes 3D graffiti look real!
  5. First layers: Start filling in your base colours, learning how to use the pressure of the spray can to get smooth gradients.
  6. Carving the details: Use thin caps to add sharp edges and fine details that define the 3D shapes.
  7. The finishing glow: Add those final white highlights to mimic light reflecting off your '3D' object.
  8. The photo op: Find the 'sweet spot' angle and take photos that make your artwork look like it's jumping straight off the surface!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join a 3D workshop?

Nope, you don't need to be the next Banksy to have a blast! Our Queenstown 3D street art workshops are designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists walk you through the logic of perspective and shadows step-by-step. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the depth and realism you can achieve with a bit of guidance and some spray cans.

What should I wear to the graffiti workshop?

We recommend wearing 'distressed' clothing—basically, stuff you don't mind getting a stray splash of paint on. While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves to keep you clean, graffiti is an active, messy art form by nature. Comfortable footwear is a must too, as you'll be moving around a lot to check out the different angles of your 3D masterpiece.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We provide all necessary protective gear, including gloves and high-quality masks to ensure you aren't breathing in fumes. Our experienced artists also give a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We use professional-grade materials and ensure the workshop space is well-ventilated, making it a safe and exciting environment for kids, teens, and adults alike.

Can we book a private workshop for a corporate team?

Absolutely! Our 3D street art workshops are one of the most popular activities for local Queenstown businesses looking for a unique team-building experience. It’s a fantastic way to get everyone out of the office, sparks creative problem-solving, and encourages collaboration. We can even tailor the final 3D design to incorporate your company logo or a specific brand message for that extra 'wow' factor.

How long does a typical 3D street art session last?

A standard 3D street art experience usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the introduction, the '3D theory' session, practicing your technique, and finally completing your large-scale piece. If you have a specific timeframe or a larger event planned in Central Otago, we can definitely adjust the duration to fit your schedule perfectly.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor workshop?

Rain is no problem in the adventure capital! We have amazing indoor venues across Queenstown and Frankton that allow us to run workshops year-round, regardless of the 'southern man' weather. If you’ve booked an outdoor session and the clouds roll in, we’ll work with you to move it to one of our sheltered backup locations so the creative vibes keep flowing.
