Visitors consistently rave about the hands-on graffiti workshops led by instructors like Leaf, Ghost, and Mims. The experience typically includes both wall painting practice and take-home canvases, which people love displaying afterward. Instructors are described as patient, knowledgeable, and skilled at helping participants bring their creative visions to life, regardless of experience level. Reviewers mention learning about graffiti history, techniques, and culture in an engaging way that makes them want to explore the art form further. The workshops appeal to diverse groups, from solo travelers to families and seniors trying graffiti for the first time. Most participants leave feeling they've learned something meaningful while having a blast creating their own pieces. However, one serious review raises concerns about inconsistent treatment and inappropriate comments during a session, suggesting potential issues with how some guests may be received. While the overwhelming majority of feedback is enthusiastic and five-star, this outlier stands out enough to warrant consideration when booking.
Such a great experience. We did a walking tour with ByteGirl and a workshop with Ghostface Mims. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the artists and the evolution of street art/graffiti. Mims was an excellent teacher, giving us tips and techniques and then a chance to practice them before guiding us through a bigger project. He was really great about letting my teenage son take charge of his project. We each made a canvas to take home as well. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in NYC.! We’ll definitely be back with friends. THANKS
