How it works
- The briefing: Grab your gear and meet your lead artist. We start with a quick intro to street art culture and safety 101.
- Concept & perspective: We dive into the 'magic' of 3D. You'll learn how to pick a vanishing point so your art looks like it's jumping off the surface.
- Sketching the illusion: Using chalk or light spray, we'll map out the geometry of your 3D design to ensure the proportions are spot on.
- Can control basics: Before hitting the main piece, you'll practice 'fat caps' and 'skinny caps' to get a feel for how the paint flows.
- Filling & fading: This is where the colour happens! You'll learn how to blend shades to create depth and realistic light effects.
- Shadow play: The secret to 3D is the shadow. We'll show you exactly where to add dark tones to make your object 'hover' above the ground.
- The outline & highlights: We add the crisp edges and 'pings' of white light that make the image pop and look ultra-realistic.
- The photo op: The best part! Stand in the 'sweet spot' and take photos where you appear to be part of the 3D art you just created.

Do I need to have any artistic talent or experience?
You don't need to be the next Banksy to have a blast with us! Our Rotorua 3D street art workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our pro artists will walk you through every step, from holding the can to mastering the vanishing point. Most people are blown away by what they can create in just one session. It's all about having a go and enjoying the creative process in a relaxed environment.
Is the workshop safe and what gear do you provide?
Safety is our top priority while we're getting creative. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, protective gloves, and disposable coveralls to keep your clothes clean. We generally work in well-ventilated outdoor spaces or specialized indoor studios. Our paints are professional-grade, and our instructors provide a full safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring everyone has a fun, risk-free experience in the Geyser City.
What should I wear to the 3D street art session?
While we provide coveralls, we always recommend wearing 'work clothes' that you don't mind getting a stray speck of paint on. Close-toed shoes (like sneakers) are a must for safety. Avoid your Sunday best or brand-new designer kicks! Since Rotorua weather can be a bit unpredictable, dressing in layers is a smart move so you stay comfortable whether we are working under the sun or in a sheltered spot.
How long does a typical workshop last?
Most of our standard 3D street art workshops in Rotorua run for about 2 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a proper introduction, sketching out the 3D optical illusions, learning spray techniques, and completing your masterpiece. If you are booking for a larger corporate group or a special festival activation, we can tailor the duration to fit your schedule. We never rush the creativity!
Can you host the workshop at my own location?
Absolutely! We love traveling across Aotearoa. While we have prime spots in Rotorua, we can often bring the workshop to your school, office, or event space if it meets certain safety and ventilation requirements. If you have a specific wall or floor area in mind for a 3D masterpiece, just let us know in your enquiry and we’ll check if the location is suitable for some spray-can magic.
Is this activity suitable for children and families?
Our 3D workshops are fantastic for ages 8 and up. For the younger kids, we focus more on the fun of the colours/shapes, while teens and adults really get into the technical 'optical illusion' side of things. It's a brilliant multi-generational activity. For primary school-aged children, we just ask for a bit of extra adult supervision to help them manage the spray cans effectively and safely.
Do I need to pay upfront to book a session?
No stress at all! We operate on a 'play now, pay later' basis for most bookings. You don't need to make an upfront payment to secure your date. You can pay after the workshop once you've seen the awesome results and everyone is stoked with their work. This keeps things totally risk-free for you and ensures we are 100% focused on delivering a top-tier creative experience.
