Do the kids need any previous art experience?

Absolutely not! Our Basel school holiday workshops are designed for everyone, from those who have never held a spray can to budding young Picassos. Our professional artists guide the group through every step, starting with simple lines and shapes before moving on to more complex techniques. We focus on building confidence and having fun, ensuring every child walks away with a piece of art they are genuinely proud of.

Is it safe for children to use spray paint?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide high-quality respiratory masks, gloves, and protective overalls to keep clothes clean and lungs safe. Our instructors are experienced professionals who supervise the use of spray cans at all times. We use low-odour, high-quality paints and conduct our sessions in well-ventilated areas or outdoor locations across Basel to ensure a safe environment for all participants.

What should my child wear to the workshop?

We recommend wearing old clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. While we provide protective overalls and gloves, graffiti can sometimes be a messy business, and spray paint is notoriously difficult to get out of fabrics. Better safe than sorry! We’ll provide the rest of the gear, including masks and all the artistic tools needed for the day.

How long does a typical holiday session last?

Our school holiday workshops in Basel typically last between 2 and 3 hours. This gives the children enough time to learn the basic techniques, practice their lettering, sketch out their final design, and execute their masterpiece on a canvas or wall. We’ve found this duration is the 'sweet spot' for keeping energy levels high and focus sharp without the kids getting overtired.

What is your cancellation policy?

We understand that plans can change, especially during the holidays. At Graffitifun, we don't require upfront payments. You pay after the workshop is completed, which gives you maximum flexibility. If you need to cancel or reschedule your Basel session, just let us know as soon as possible so we can adjust our artist's schedule. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible for parents.

What age range is suitable for the graffiti workshop?

We generally recommend our workshops for children aged 8 and up. This is because handling the spray cans requires a certain level of finger strength and motor coordination. However, we can often accommodate slightly younger children if they are part of a mixed-age group or have a keen interest in art. If you're unsure, just give us a shout and we can discuss the best setup for your group.

The experience

Choosing Graffitifun for your school holiday activities in Basel means choosing a blend of education, safety, and pure excitement. Here is why parents and holiday organisers love us:

Expert guidance: Workshops are led by real street artists who live and breathe the culture.

Reliability: We have a backup artist system in place, so your holiday plans are never ruined by a last-minute cancellation.

Step by step

Introduction and safety briefing: We kick things off by meeting the group and going over the essential safety rules, including how to use masks and gear correctly.
History of street art: Our artists give a brief, engaging talk about the origins of graffiti and how it evolved into the global art movement we see today.
Basic technique practice: Kids get their first taste of the spray can, learning how to control pressure, create dots, and spray clean lines.
Lettering and style: We move on to the 'funky' stuff, teaching participants how to design their own tags and develop unique lettering styles.
Concept sketching: Every child gets paper and pens to sketch out their final masterpiece, planning their colours and composition before hitting the wall.
The main event: Under the guidance of our pros, the kids bring their sketches to life on a large scale, using professional-grade paint.
Adding the finishing touches: We teach techniques like 'highlighting' and 'outlining' to make the artwork pop and look truly professional.
Group photo and wrap-up: We celebrate the hard work with a group photo in front of the finished mural and a final debrief on the day's achievements.

Basel is a city that breathes art, from the world-renowned Art Basel fair to the hidden gems tucked away in the side streets of the Grossbasel and Kleinbasel districts. Our workshops tap into this local creative spirit, often taking place near iconic urban spots that inspire the next generation of Swiss artists. We pride ourselves on being part of the local community, collaborating with local talents to ensure our sessions feel authentic. Whether we are drawing inspiration from the Rhine's urban edges or the colourful murals found in the Gundeldingen quarter, your children will feel like they are contributing to Basel's rich tapestry of contemporary culture. It's a chance for them to see their city through a different lens—one spray can at a time.
