How long does a typical school workshop in Basel last?

For school projects in Basel, we recommend a duration of 2 to 3 hours. This allows plenty of time for a proper introduction to graffiti history, safety demonstrations, and hands-on practice. It also ensures students have enough time to finish their individual pieces or a large group mural without feeling rushed, keeping the energy levels high and the focus sharp throughout the entire session.

Is it safe for students to use spray paint?

Absolutely! Participation and safety are our top priorities. We provide all necessary protective gear, including high-quality masks, gloves, and overalls to keep clothes clean. Our instructors are professional artists who supervise every step of the process. We use low-odour or water-based spray cans where possible and always conduct workshops in well-ventilated outdoor areas or legal graffiti zones around Basel to ensure a safe environment for everyone.

What is the maximum group size for a school session?

We can accommodate groups of almost any size. For a standard school class of 20-30 students, we provide enough artists to ensure a low student-to-teacher ratio. For larger school events with 100+ students, we bring in our backup artist team and rotate groups through different stations. This ensures every student gets personal guidance and a chance to truly learn the techniques.

What happens if the workshop artist is unavailable?

One of the best things about Graffitifun is our flexibility. We have a large team of professional artists, so if your primary instructor falls ill, we have backup artists ready to step in. This means your school outing or project week in Basel won't be cancelled at the last minute. We value your time and the effort required to organise school trips.

Do we need to pay in advance for the school workshop?

No, you don't need to pay anything upfront! We believe in the quality of our workshops and want you to feel confident in your booking. You can arrange the payment via invoice after the workshop has been successfully completed. This makes the administrative process much easier for schools and educational institutions in Switzerland, as it fits perfectly with standard accounting procedures.

What is included in the price per student?

The workshop price includes everything: professional artist guidance, all spray cans in a wide variety of colours, caps/nozzles, protective clothing (overalls, gloves, masks), and the use of the graffiti wall or boards. There are no hidden costs. We even provide the surface to paint on if there isn't a legal wall available at your chosen Basel location.

Local culture

Basel isn't just about the Old Town and Art Basel; it’s a city where urban expression meets traditional culture. From the colourful displays along the railway lines to the dedicated graffiti zones near the Rhine, the city breathes street art. Our workshops tap into this local 'Basler' spirit, encouraging students to look at their city through a different lens. We often draw inspiration from the city's unique architecture and its position as a meeting point for three countries. By bringing street art into a school context, we bridge the gap between 'underground' culture and educational excellence, making art accessible to every student in the Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft cantons.
