Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be artistic to enjoy a graffiti workshop in Basel?

No prior artistic experience is needed for our Basel onboarding workshops. Our professional artists are expert at guiding absolute beginners through the basics. We start with simple lines and shapes, ensuring everyone feels comfortable with the spray can before moving on to more complex designs. It's all about having a good time and trying something new in a supportive environment.

What safety equipment is provided and what should I wear?

We provide all the necessary safety gear, including high-quality FFP masks, protective gloves, and disposable overalls to protect your clothing. While we take every precaution to keep you clean, we always recommend wearing old trainers and comfortable clothes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on, just in case! Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.

Is there an upfront payment required for the booking?

Yes! One of the best parts of our setup is that we don't require any payment before the workshop takes place. You can book your date with peace of mind, knowing that you only pay once the session is completed and everyone is happy with their masterpiece. We believe this builds trust and ensures we always deliver a top-tier experience.

Can we take our graffiti artwork home with us?

Depending on the specific location and package chosen, you can often take your individual canvas or board home with you. If we are working on a collaborative large-scale mural, we ensure you get high-quality digital photos of the finished work. In Basel, we try to ensure every participant leaves with a tangible memory of their creative journey.

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

Rain won't stop the creativity! We have access to several sheltered and indoor locations across Basel where we can hold workshops regardless of the weather. If the forecast looks particularly bad for an outdoor spot, we’ll coordinate with you to move the session to one of our backup indoor spaces, ensuring your onboarding experience stays dry and fun.

How long does a typical graffiti onboarding session last?

A standard onboarding workshop usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. This timeframe is perfect for a comprehensive introduction, including a safety briefing, technique practice, and the creation of a final piece. We can also adjust the duration to fit into a tighter corporate schedule or extend it for groups who want a deeper dive into street art culture.

Can the workshop be held at our own office or venue?

We are incredibly flexible. While we have our preferred street art spots in Basel, like near the Rhine or industrial zones, we can also bring the workshop to your office or a specific event venue. We use mobile graffiti walls and protective flooring to ensure we leave the site exactly as we found it—except perhaps with a bit more creative energy!

What is the maximum group size for a Basel workshop?

We cater to groups of all sizes! Whether you are a small startup team of five or a large corporate department of fifty, we scale our team of artists to ensure everyone gets individual attention. For very large groups, we rotate participants or create a massive collaborative mural where everyone contributes to a single, impressive piece of brand art.
