How long does a typical graffiti birthday workshop last?
Most of our kids' birthday parties in Basel last approximately 2 hours. This provides enough time for a comprehensive safety briefing, technique practice on plastic film or boards, and the creation of their final masterpiece. We find this duration is the 'sweet spot' for keeping children aged 8 and up fully engaged without them getting overly tired from handling the spray cans.
Is the paint safe for children to use?
Safety is our number one priority. We provide all children with high-quality protective masks, gloves, and disposable overalls to keep their clothes clean. Our professional instructors use low-pressure spray cans which are easier for smaller hands to control, and we always work in well-ventilated outdoor areas or dedicated street art zones to ensure a safe breathing environment for everyone.
What is the minimum group size for a kids' party?
For the best experience in Basel, we recommend a minimum group size of 10 participants. However, we are flexible and can accommodate smaller groups if needed. For very large parties, we simply bring in additional professional artists to ensure every child gets personal guidance and support while they develop their unique street art style during the celebration.
What happens if it rains on the day of the party?
Basel's weather can be unpredictable, but the party must go on! If the forecast looks rainy, we try to move the workshop to a sheltered outdoor location or a covered public graffiti zone. Because we have a team of backup artists and flexible logistics, we can often adjust the timing or location to ensure the kids stay dry while they spray.
Do the children need any prior artistic experience?
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for absolute beginners. Our artists start with the basics—how to hold the can, how to control the pressure, and how to create clean lines. we find that kids are natural creatives and usually pick up the techniques much faster than adults, leaving the party with a massive sense of achievement.
Do the kids get to take their artwork home?
Yes, every child gets to take home their own unique creation! Depending on the setup we choose for your Basel party, they will either paint on individual canvas boards or high-quality thick paper. These make for the ultimate 'party bag' souvenir, allowing them to hang their first-ever piece of authentic street art on their bedroom wall as a lasting memory.
What should the children wear to the workshop?
We recommend comfortable clothes and shoes that you don't mind getting a tiny bit of dust on. Even though we provide full protective overalls, gloves, and masks, graffiti can be a bit messy. It’s best to avoid brand-new designer trainers or high-end clothing just in case a stray bit of paint finds its way past the protective gear during the excitement!
