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.
My 10 year old, my sister and I we did a graffiti class and our teacher (mims) was truly talented and amazing. My 10 year old said it was the highlight of our visit to NYC! They had a guided process to learn about how to make different width strokes. And we learnt different styles of graffiti. Also they had a huge assortment of colors on hand. Also the teacher helped us touch up the project which was the chefs kiss lol Photo is our work from the class - not of the amazing work from the walking tour ;)
