Frequently asked questions

Is the spray paint safe for primary school children?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide all primary school pupils with high-quality FFP3 respirators to ensure they don't inhale any fumes. Additionally, we use water-based spray paint options where possible and provide disposable overalls and gloves to keep their school uniforms clean. Our instructors are experts at managing large groups of children safely.

Do we need a specific location at our school?

Ideally, we work outdoors at a legal graffiti wall or on your school grounds using mobile wooden panels. If the weather in Basel is poor, we can set up indoors provided there is adequate ventilation and we can thoroughly protect the floors and walls. We always have a backup plan ready so the workshop can go ahead rain or shine.

How long does a typical school workshop last?

We recommend a duration of 1.5 to 2 hours for primary school groups. This timeframe is perfect for keeping children's attention spans engaged without them getting tired. It allows enough time for a brief history lesson, a safety demonstration, sketching their ideas, and plenty of time for actual painting on the canvas or wall.

Do the pupils need any prior artistic skills?

Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our professional street artists guide the children through every step, from holding the can correctly to creating simple shapes and effects. We focus on the process and the fun of creation, ensuring every child feels like a successful artist by the end of the session.

What are the costs for a primary school workshop in Basel?

Our pricing in Basel typically ranges from CHF40 to CHF85 per pupil. This variation depends on the total number of participants, the duration of the session, and whether we are painting on a permanent wall or individual canvases that the children can take home. We offer competitive rates for larger school year groups and multiple sessions.

Are all materials included in the price?

We provide everything needed for a successful street art day. This includes a wide variety of premium spray paint colours, protective masks, gloves, and overalls. We also bring caps (nozzles) for different spray widths and all necessary sketching materials. Your school only needs to provide the space and the enthusiastic pupils!
