Do I need to be a talented artist to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Our 3D street art workshop in Bologna is designed for everyone, from total beginners to seasoned doodlers. Our professional artists will guide you through the basics of spray painting and the specific logic of anamorphic perspective. Most of our guests have never held a spray can before they arrive, and they leave with a finished piece they're genuinely proud of. It's all about having fun and trying something new!

What should I wear to the graffiti session?

We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a little dusty or stained. While we provide high-quality protective overalls, gloves, and masks, spray paint can be unpredictable in the wind. Since we are in the 'Fat City', save the fancy designer outfits for your dinner at a local trattoria and come to us ready to get hands-on and creative!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks, protective gloves, and full-body overalls to keep you and your clothes safe. We use high-quality spray paint and ensure that our workshop locations are well-ventilated (usually outdoors). Our instructors also give a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can, ensuring a worry-free environment for all ages.

What happens if it rains on the day of my booking?

Bologna's weather is usually lovely, but if it rains, we've got you covered—literally! We have access to several covered outdoor locations and indoor industrial spaces where the workshop can proceed as planned. If the weather is truly extreme, we'll work with you to reschedule or find a suitable indoor alternative so your 3D art experience doesn't get washed away.

How long does a typical workshop last?

Typically, our standard 3D street art experience lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This gives us enough time for the introduction, safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of your final 3D masterpiece. If you're booking for a larger corporate event or a festival, we can scale the timing to fit your specific schedule. We never rush the process—creative flow takes time!

Can I take my artwork home with me?

Yes! While we often work on large shared walls or temporary panels, you'll have plenty of opportunities to take photos and videos of your work. For many of our private sessions, we can arrange for you to paint on individual canvases or plywood boards that you can take home. Just let us know in advance if you'd like to bring your 3D creation back to your living room!

How is this different from a normal graffiti workshop?

A '3D' workshop is more focused on perspective, shadows, and optical illusions compared to a standard graffiti workshop. While 'regular' graffiti focuses on letters, tags, and character styles, our 3D session specifically teaches you the 'Anamorphic' technique—the trick that makes a flat drawing look like it’s popping out of the ground or floor when viewed from a specific angle.

The experience

Why choose a 3D street art experience in the home of the world's oldest university? Because average is boring! Here’s why our Bologna workshop is a must-move:

Mind-bending techniques: We don't just paint walls; we teach you the math and magic behind 3D anamorphic illusions. 🧠
No flakes allowed: We have backup artists on standby, so your event happens rain or shine, no matter what. 🛡️
Pro artists only: You’ll be learning from real-deal street artists who live and breathe this culture.
Pay later peace of mind: No upfront payment is required. We trust you, so you can book with total confidence! 💸
Full equipment provided: From Italian-made spray cans to premium safety masks, we bring the entire studio to you.
Zero skill needed: We’ve turned accountants into artists and kids into masters in just one afternoon. ✨

Step by step

Introduction & inspiration: Meet your pro artist and explore the world of 3D street art. We’ll look at examples of anamorphic illusions right here in Bologna to get your brain thinking in three dimensions.
Mastering the gear: Learn the 'can control' basics. We’ll show you how to swap nozzles (caps) for different line widths and how to move your arm to get smooth, professional results.
The secret of perspective: This is the 'magic' step. We’ll teach you how to sketch a distorted image on the ground that looks perfectly upright and 3D from the viewer's camera lens.
Outline and structure: Grab your first can! You’ll start by sketching the skeleton of your 3D design onto the pavement or wall under the watchful eye of our experts.
Adding depth with shadows: Learn the art of shading. Shadows are what make an image 'lift' off the surface. We'll show you how to blend colours to create realistic depth.
High-contrast highlights: Add those final pops of white and bright colours to make your artwork gleam and truly break the 2D plane.
The 'Photo Op' reveal: Step to the designated 'viewing point'. This is the moment where the distorted shapes suddenly click into a stunning 3D image—perfect for your Instagram!

Good to know

Duration: Usually 2 to 3 hours of pure creative flow. ⏱️
Group Sizes: We cater to everyone! Small private groups, stag/hen parties, or large corporate teams of 100+.
What's Included: All spray cans, high-quality caps, protective overalls, gloves, masks, and professional artist guidance. 🎨

Local culture

Bologna is a city that breathes art, from its medieval bricks to its modern-day murals. Known as La Grassa (The Fat), La Dotta (The Learned), and La Rossa (The Red), it’s the perfect place to experiment with 3D illusions. The city's famous porticos provide a unique architectural rhythm that street artists have admired for decades. While you're here, you might see the influence of local legends or discover hidden gems in the Pratello district. Our workshops tap into this rebellious, creative spirit that makes Bologna's urban art scene so unique in Italy.

Fun Fact: Bologna is home to one of the oldest universities in the world, and its street art often reflects this intellectual history, blending political messages with incredible technical skill! 🎓🎨
