In short

The Schule für Gestaltung Basel offers vocational training, higher professional education and public courses in design. Its apprenticeships include goldsmith (Goldschmied:in EFZ), in which students design and make jewellery in gold, silver and platinum, often with gemstones, as well as polydesigner 3D, graphic design and polygraphy; its higher professional school (HF) offers textile design, in which students design fabrics for fashion, functional clothing, upholstery, interiors and household products, alongside interior design, interaction design and visual design. Public courses include textile and fashion design, bookbinding and manual printing techniques. The school traces its history back to a drawing school for young craftsmen founded in 1796 by the GGG society, which the state took over in 1887 as the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule.
