Frequently asked questions

How does a graffiti workshop help prevent vandalism in Basel?

An anti-vandalism workshop in Basel transforms the perception of graffiti from a nuisance into a respected craft. By teaching the history of street art and the importance of legal spaces, we reduce the urge for illegal tagging. Participants learn that real art takes time, respect, and permission. This educational approach helps keep Basel’s historic city centre and modern neighbourhoods cleaner while giving young people a creative outlet.

Is the workshop safe for teenagers and children?

Absolutely! We prioritise safety by providing high-quality respiratory masks, disposable gloves, and protective overalls for every participant. Our instructors are professional artists who oversee the entire process, ensuring spray cans are used responsibly. We choose well-ventilated outdoor locations or authorised 'Halls of Fame' in Basel to ensure a healthy and legal environment for everyone involved.

Do I need to pay in advance for the workshop?

We offer full flexibility for your peace of mind. You don't need to pay anything upfront when booking your Basel workshop. Payment is only settled after the session is complete and you are 100% satisfied with the experience. We accept various payment methods, making it easy for schools, youth groups, or private organisations to arrange their creative day without financial stress.

How long does a typical anti-vandalism session last?

We usually recommend between 1.5 to 3 hours for a comprehensive experience. This timeframe allows us to cover the vital anti-vandalism theory, safety briefings, and hands-on practice. It gives everyone enough time to move from basic lines to creating a full-scale piece of art on their own designated surface. We can adjust the duration to fit your specific schedule in Basel.

Do participants need prior artistic skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. We start with the basics of how to hold a can and control the pressure. Our professional artists guide you through every step, ensuring that by the end of the day, even those who thought they weren't 'artistic' will have created something they can be proud of on the street art walls of Basel.

What materials are included in the workshop package?

We come fully prepared so you don't have to worry. We provide all the professional-grade spray paint in a huge variety of colours, caps for different line widths, protective gear (suits, masks, gloves), and the canvases or mobile walls. If we are working at a specific legal wall in Basel, we handle all the necessary permissions and site preparation beforehand.

What happens if the artist is unavailable on the day?

Reliability is one of our core values. We have a dedicated team of backup artists ready to step in if your primary instructor falls ill. This ensures that your event in Basel goes ahead as planned without any last-minute cancellations. Whether it’s a school project or a community event, you can count on Graffitifun to be there.
