Do I need to be good at drawing to join the 3D workshop?
Absolutely no art experience is needed! Our Sligo workshop is designed for everyone from total beginners to seasoned creatives. Our professional artists break down the complex world of 3D street art into simple, manageable steps. We’ll show you exactly how to use shadows and vanishing points to create an illusion. Most of our guests are blown away by what they manage to create by the end of the session! 🎨
What materials are included in the Sligo workshop?
We’ve got you covered! We provide high-quality spray cans in a huge range of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and masks. We also provide the canvases or surfaces you'll be working on. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and some clothes you don’t mind getting a tiny bit of paint on (just in case!). We handle the setup and the cleanup so you can focus on the art. ✨
Is it safe to work with spray paint?
Safety is our number one priority. We work in well-ventilated areas and provide professional-grade protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced graffiti artists who guide the group on the safe and proper use of spray paint. We ensure a controlled environment where everyone can have fun and express themselves without any risks. You're in very safe hands with the Graffitifun team! 🛡️
How long does a typical session last?
A standard 3D street art experience in Sligo usually lasts between 2 and 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of the culture, a demonstration of 3D techniques, and plenty of hands-on painting time for you to finish your masterpiece. If you have a specific schedule or are part of a larger corporate event, we can easily adapt the timing to fit your needs. ⏱️
What happens if it rains on the day?
While we love Sligo, the Wild Atlantic Way weather can be unpredictable! For outdoor sessions, we always aim to have a backup plan or a sheltered area. If the weather is looking particularly Irish (very rainy!), we can often move the workshop to a covered location or reschedule. We track the forecast closely and stay in touch with you to ensure your workshop goes off without a hitch. 🌧️
What is the minimum and maximum group size?
We are very flexible! You can book for a small private group, a school class, or a large corporate team. For 3D street art, we find that groups of 10 to 30 work brilliantly, but we can accommodate much larger numbers by bringing in additional artists. Because we have backup artists available, we can scale up or down easily to ensure everyone gets plenty of individual attention. 🤝
How does the payment process work?
One of the best things about Graffitifun is our 'play now, pay later' approach. No upfront payment is required to secure your booking in Sligo. You can pay after the workshop is completed, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. We accept various payment methods to make things as easy as possible for your group or company. 💳
