Caprez Daniel

Atelier Daniel Caprez – Sculptor
Rüchligweg 65, 4125 Riehen (Niederholz)

My studio is located on the industrial site in Rüchlig.
The best way to reach me by public transport is via bus lines 34 or 38, or with the S6 train (from Basel SBB) to Niederholz station. From there, follow Rauracherstrasse under the railway bridge – immediately after, turn left into Rüchligweg. After about 300 meters you will see the gate to the industrial area on your right. Enter through the gate and you will arrive directly at my studio, which is partly housed in a converted shipping container.

By car, you can reach me via Riehenstrasse or Bäumlihofstrasse. Then turn into Rauracherstrasse, and after the railway bridge take a left into Rüchligweg.
