Open Studio

First explore the Museum yourself and then head for the studio – or the other way round? Every first Sunday of the month, our studio is open to anyone who before or after touring the Museum wishes to be creative, explore things, or experiment. The studio is run by two art educationalists who are at hand with support and advice and the one or other surprise.

Date: on the first Sunday of each month, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Meeting point: HAUPTBAU, Atelier Bildung & Vermittlung
Participation free of charge

Snow white and mud brown
When will the first snow fall? When will the last frost thaw? On this Sunday we deal with snowwomen and men, with ice crystals and bright white, but also with the brownish gray of winter, when the snow stays away. A whole day around the shapes and colors of winter, before the first spring messengers cast it out!

Paper carnival
Inspired by the glowing lanterns and imaginative costumes of the Morgestraich, we invite you this March to creatively capture the magic of the Basel Fasnacht! Create a colorful artwork made of Räppli and confetti, design a mask with a mischievous look, or bring the mystical atmosphere of the nighttime Fasnacht celebrations to paper. An open studio dedicated to this year’s Fasnacht theme!

My body, a landscape
Let your body speak! With hands, feet, and knees, we work on a composition of body shapes and gestures. With plenty of time, clay, and plaster, immediate and abstract works emerge.
