How it works

- Concept sketching: Grab a pencil and paper to map out your 3D design, focusing on shadows and vanishing points.
- Can control basics: Our pros show you how to handle the spray can, from fine lines to broad fills, ensuring you feel confident.
- The 'Big Outline': Bring your sketch to life on the canvas or wall, laying down the foundation of your 3D illusion.
- Layering and shading: This is where the magic happens! We use gradients and shadows to create depth and 'pop' your art off the surface.
- Highlighting: Add those final bright touches that catch the eye and complete the optical illusion.
- The Perspective Check: Step back to the 'magic spot' and watch your 2D creation transform into a 3D masterpiece through your lens.

Do I need to be an artist to join a 3D street art workshop?
Absolutely! Our 3D street art workshops in San Francisco are designed specifically for beginners. You don't need any previous drawing or painting experience to create something amazing. Our professional artists walk you through the 'optical illusion' techniques step-by-step, ensuring you understand how to manipulate perspective. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the depth and realism you can achieve with just a few spray cans and some expert guidance.
Is the workshop safe and what protective gear is provided?
Safety is our top priority at Graffitifun. We provide all participants with high-quality protective gear, including masks, gloves, and aprons to keep your clothes clean. We use professional-grade spray paint in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spots. Our instructors are seasoned pros who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a can, ensuring a fun, worry-free environment for everyone from kids to corporate teams.
How long does a typical 3D graffiti session last?
The duration of our 3D graffiti experience usually ranges between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for diving deep into the creative process without feeling rushed. We start with a brief introduction to 3D concepts, followed by hands-on practice, and culminate in the creation of your masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or a large group event, we can easily customize the duration to fit your needs perfectly.
How does the 'pay after the workshop' policy work?
We believe in a 'fun first' philosophy, which is why we don't require any upfront payments. You can book your San Francisco workshop today and only pay once the creative sparks fly and the session is complete. This gives you total peace of mind and flexibility. We accept various payment methods after the workshop, making the entire process as smooth and stress-free as the paint we spray!
What happens if it rains or an artist is unavailable?
San Francisco weather can be a bit unpredictable, but we've got you covered! We always have backup plans. If the fog rolls in too thick or rain begins, we can move the workshop to a covered outdoor area or one of our partner indoor creative studios. Additionally, we have a network of backup artists available, so your event will never be canceled due to an individual instructor's unavailability. Your creative flow stays protected!
What is the minimum or maximum group size allowed?
For our standard 3D street art workshops, we generally recommend a minimum group size of 5 to 10 people to keep the energy high. However, we are very flexible! We host everything from small bachelor parties to massive corporate brand activations with hundreds of participants. If you have a unique group size or a massive event in mind, just reach out and we will tailor a package that fits your group perfectly.
