Why choose us in Basel?

Why choose a 3D street art experience with us in Basel? It’s not just about painting a wall; it’s about changing how you see the world. 3D graffiti is the "boss level" of street art, and here is why you’ll love it:

Mind-bending skills: Learn the specific geometric tricks that turn a 2D surface into a 3D masterpiece. 🤯
Professional artists: Our instructors aren't just teachers; they are active street artists who live and breathe this culture.
Total flexibility: We bring the workshop to you, or we can host you at one of our cool urban locations across Basel. 🔥
Instant satisfaction: There is nothing like the feeling of stepping back and seeing your 3D illusion "click" into place for the first time.
Memorable photos: 3D art is made for the camera. You'll leave with incredible photos that look like you're standing inside the art! 📸
Reliability: With backup artists on standby, your event is guaranteed to happen, rain or shine.

How it works

Intro and safety: We start with a warm welcome and a quick safety brief. You'll get geared up in your protective suit and mask so you can paint without worry.
Mastering the can: Your artist will show you how to hold the spray can, control the pressure, and swap nozzles to create different line widths and effects.
3D theory 101: Learn the secrets of anamorphic art. We'll show you how to use vanishing points, shadows, and highlights to make flat shapes "pop" off the wall.
Sketching the design: Use chalk or light spray paint to map out your 3D design on the canvas, focusing on the angles that create the optical illusion.
Filling and fading: Start applying your base colours. Our pros will teach you how to blend and fade colours smoothly to create realistic gradients.
Adding the shadows: This is where the magic happens! By adding strategic drop shadows, your artwork will suddenly look like it's floating in mid-air.
Final outlines and highlights: Add sharp "power lines" and bright white highlights to give your 3D piece that professional, polished look.
The photo op: Stand at the "sweet spot" to see the 3D effect perfectly through your camera lens. It's the ultimate moment for your social media feed!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be an artist to join a 3D street art workshop?

You don't need any previous drawing or painting skills! Our professional artists specialize in teaching beginners. We start with the absolute basics of spray can control and explain the geometric logic behind 3D effects. By the time we start on the main project, you'll feel confident enough to create something impressive. It is all about having fun and trying something new in a supportive environment.

What materials are included in the Basel workshop?

We provide everything you need to create your masterpiece. This includes high-quality spray cans in various colours, specialized nozzles (caps), protective suits, gloves, and masks. We also provide the canvases or practice surfaces. You just need to show up in comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on, though we do our best to keep you clean!

How long does a typical session last?

Most of our 3D street art sessions in Basel last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a safety briefing, a demonstration of 3D techniques, practice time, and the creation of your final piece. If you are booking for a larger corporate event or a festival, we can adjust the timing to fit your specific schedule and requirements.

Is the spray paint safe to use?

Safety is our top priority. We use low-odour, high-quality paints and provide all necessary personal protective equipment, including FFP2 or FFP3 masks and gloves. Our workshops are usually held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specialized indoor spaces with proper extraction. Our instructors are professional artists who are trained to manage groups safely while ensuring everyone has a fantastic, worry-free creative experience.

What happens if it rains on the day of our workshop?

In the event of light rain, we often use covered outdoor locations to keep the creativity flowing. If the weather in Basel is truly miserable, we have indoor alternatives available or we can look at rescheduling your session. Because we have a large team of backup artists, we are very flexible and will always work with you to ensure your event goes ahead smoothly.

Can we choose our own theme or design?

Absolutely! While we have a standard curriculum that teaches the fundamentals of 3D street art, we love tailoring the session to your needs. Whether you want to focus on a specific colour palette, incorporate a company logo, or celebrate a birthday theme, just let us know. Our artists in Basel are experts at adapting their style to match your group's unique personality.

How much does a 3D street art workshop cost?

Our pricing in Basel typically ranges from CHF40 to CHF85 per person. The final cost depends on the size of your group, the duration of the workshop, and the specific materials required for your chosen 3D project. We don't require upfront payments—you can pay after the workshop is complete. For an accurate price tailored to your group, please request a custom quote!
