Is this workshop safe and suitable for younger children?

Absolutely! Creativity has no age limit. Our after-school workshops are specially designed for children and teenagers. Our professional artists use age-appropriate teaching methods, ensuring everyone stays safe while having a blast. We provide smaller gloves and masks for younger participants and focus on fostering a supportive, inclusive environment where every student in Basel can feel like a true street artist.

What materials are included in the session?

We provide everything needed for a complete street art experience. This includes professional-grade spray cans in a huge variety of colours, high-quality protective masks, gloves, and hooded overalls to keep clothes clean. We also provide the 'canvas'—whether that is a dedicated wall space or individual boards. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and wear some old shoes you don't mind getting a bit of dust on!

Do the students need to have previous artistic experience?

No prior drawing or painting skills are required at all! Our Basel graffiti mentors are experts at breaking down complex mural techniques into simple, manageable steps. We start with the basics of can control and simple lines before moving on to letters and characters. Most students are shocked by how professional their artwork looks by the end of the very first session.

What happens if we need to cancel or change our booking?

At Graffitifun, we understand that school schedules can be hectic. That is why we offer ultimate flexibility. There is no upfront payment required to book your date—you only pay after the workshop has been successfully completed. Plus, we have a backup artist system in place, so even if an instructor falls ill, your Basel after-school event will still go ahead as planned.

How long does a typical graffiti workshop last?

A standard after-school graffiti session usually lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. This timeframe allows enough time for a safety briefing, an introduction to street art history, practicing basic spray techniques, and finally creating a complete masterpiece. We can also adjust the duration to fit into specific school club slots or holiday programme schedules across the Basel-Stadt region.

What should the participants wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and, most importantly, old shoes. While we provide full-body protective suits (overalls), spray paint mist can sometimes find its way onto footwear. Basel's weather can be unpredictable, so if we are working at an outdoor legal wall, please dress for the temperature. We provide all the specialized safety gear like professional masks and nitrile gloves.

Local culture

Basel is widely regarded as the cultural heart of Switzerland, and its relationship with street art is no exception. From the famous legal walls along the Rhine to the hidden gems in the Gundeldinger quarter, the city is a living gallery. Our workshops draw inspiration from the diverse styles seen at events like the 'Line' or the various urban art installations near the SBB station. We encourage our students to look at the urban landscape of Basel-Stadt through a new lens, appreciating the technical skill and social messages behind the murals they see every day while commuting to school.
