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

Absolutely! Our 3D street art workshops in Ottawa are designed specifically for beginners. You don't need any prior drawing or painting experience. Our professional artists break down complex perspective techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. We provide all the specialized tools and guidance you need to create an image that looks like it's jumping off the surface. It’s all about having fun and trying something new in a supportive environment!

How exactly does the 3D effect work?

The ‘3D’ effect in street art is created using a technique called anamorphic projection. This involves distorting an image so that when viewed from a specific vantage point, it appears three-dimensional. During the workshop, our Ottawa artists will teach you how to set up these perspective lines and use shading and highlights to trick the eye into seeing depth where there is none. It’s a mix of math, art, and pure magic!

What materials are included in the Ottawa workshop?

We’ve got you covered from head to toe! Graffitifun provides all the high-quality spray paint, specialized nozzles for detail work, and protective gear including overalls, gloves, and masks. Depending on the workshop format, we also provide the canvases or boards you'll be working on. Just make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny bit of paint on—just in case!

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our number one priority. We use high-quality spray paints and provide all necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), including professional-grade masks and gloves. Our instructors are experienced pros who provide a comprehensive safety briefing before anyone touches a spray can. We ensure the work area is well-ventilated and that everyone follows proper handling procedures to ensure a fun, accident-free creative session for the whole group.

Where in Ottawa do the workshops take place?

We are extremely flexible! Our 3D street art workshops can be held at various inspiring locations around Ottawa, or we can bring the experience to you if you have a suitable indoor or outdoor space. We often work in creative hubs, community centers, or even your own backyard or corporate parking lot. If you're unsure about a location, just reach out and we can help find the perfect spot for your creative breakthrough.

How long does a typical session last?

Typically, our 3D street art experiences last between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows us to cover the basic theory of anamorphic art, practice some spray-painting techniques, and complete a final 3D piece. If you have a specific schedule in mind for a corporate event or a festival, we can definitely customize the duration to fit your itinerary perfectly. Quality and fun are never rushed!

What is the maximum group size for a workshop?

We love hosting groups of all sizes! Whether you are a small group of friends, a medium-sized bachelor party, or a large corporate team of 50+, we can accommodate you. For very large groups, we bring in additional backup artists to ensure everyone gets plenty of individual attention and guidance. Our goal is to make sure every participant feels like a street art pro by the end of the day.
