Why choose us in Basel?

Why settle for another boring mixer when you could be creating a masterpiece? Our graffiti workshops are the perfect blend of teamwork and individual expression. Here is why Basel students love them:

  • Destress properly: Nothing beats the therapeutic hiss of a spray can after a week of intense exams. 🎤
  • Build your community: Create a massive mural with your fellow students—perfect for faculty bonding.
  • No gear, no gear: We provide everything from the suits to the paint; you just bring the energy.
  • Professional pros: Learn from actual street artists who are active in the Basel scene. 🏆
  • Unique social content: Your Instagram feed will thank you for the explosion of colour and action.
  • Zero risk: With our backup artist guarantee and "pay later" policy, your event is in safe hands.

How it works

  1. Initial briefing: Meet your pro artist and learn about the history of graffiti culture in Basel and beyond.
  2. Safety first: Get geared up in your protective suit, gloves, and mask while we explain the dos and don'ts of spray painting.
  3. The tag creator: Use our digital tools or paper sketches to brainstorm your unique tag or piece before hitting the wall.
  4. Nozzle knowledge: Learn how to swap 'caps' to achieve different line widths, from fat caps for filling to skinny caps for detail.
  5. Technique practice: Try your hand at 'fading', 'outlining', and 'shading' on a practice surface to get your muscle memory working.
  6. The main event: Start your masterpiece! Whether it's a solo canvas or a massive group mural, this is where the magic happens.
  7. Final touches: Add those crisp highlights and 'second outlines' that make a piece truly pop off the surface.
  8. Group photo & wrap: Capture the finished work with the crew and celebrate your new skills with the team.

Frequently asked questions

Do students need any previous art experience?

Absolutely! Our Basel university workshops are specifically designed for beginners. Our professional street artists start with the basics, including safety, nozzle control, and simple lines. Most students are amazed at what they can create by the end of the session. We provide a supportive, high-energy environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the creative process.🎨

How long does a typical workshop last?

A standard university workshop in Basel typically lasts between 2 and 3 hours. This includes the introductory briefing, sketching time, and the actual painting session. We can also adapt the schedule to fit into a specific lecture gap or as a full-day 'drop-in' event for student festivals and welcome weeks. We are flexible to your timetable!⏱️

What materials are included in the session?

We cover everything! We provide all the spray cans in a wide variety of colours, protective overalls, gloves, and high-quality respiratory masks. Depending on the venue, we provide either large collective boards or individual canvases for students to take home. You just need to show up in clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty!🧤

Is the workshop safe for indoor use at the Uni?

Safety is our number one priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks and nitrile gloves to all participants. Our workshops are held in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially ventilated indoor spaces. Our artists are trained in safety protocols and ensure that the spray cans are used responsibly throughout the entire Basel event.🛡️️

Can we create a specific theme or collective mural?

Of course! We can focus on a collaborative mural that represents your faculty's values, or keep it individual so everyone can take home their own piece of art. For student unions and societies, we often create a 'legacy wall' that stays on campus as a permanent piece of street art. Just let us know your preference!🖼️

What happens if it rains on the day?

In Basel, we take advantage of the city's legal graffiti zones or set up mobile walls on your campus grounds. If the weather doesn't play ball, we have indoor solutions using water-based, low-odour paints or secured indoor locations. We always have a backup plan ready so your event goes ahead regardless of the Swiss weather.☔

What are the costs for a university group?

Our pricing is flexible to accommodate student budgets. In Basel, prices generally range from CHF40 to CHF85 per person, depending on the group size and the specific materials requested. We offer special rates for university societies and large faculty groups. We don't require upfront payment; you can pay after the fun is done!💰
