So let me start this off and say how much my three children 11, 10, and 6 year old children plus my wife all had an amazing experience! Isabelle was our teacher and she was awesome! She was super patient and guided us through a handful of techniques and the kids really responded well. It was great to see my two daughters take interest in the art of graffiti while also flexing their creativity. We traveled from the SF Bay Area and took the opportunity to participate in a part of the NYC culture. The area was super rich in artwork that embodies the sub culture of graffiti art. I would recommend this to anyone especially a family! I also loved how Isabelle was super encouraging with my two daughters and encouraging them to get into the community because there aren’t enough female artists in the community!

We visited with my family (myself, husband and 3 sons aged 16,14,11) and it was an epic and unique experience. Leaf was an excellent instructor and artist. He gave us just enough direction with a mix of independence and we walked out with really memorable and personalized canvases of graffiti art that we will love forever. We used good quality water based spray paint so almost no fumes. I Highly recommend the large canvas , it's the best value for the experience! Thank you!!

So my birthday this year was about experience in things I love. Graff Tours Graffiti workshop did not disappoint. I lucked out with a private session because the other participant was a no-show. The Ghostface Mims was a great instructor. Knowledgeable and direct with his instructions approach, we made good use of our time and making the experience worthwhile. I totally plan to do this again and (maybe) with a group of friends. I actually wish this was a longer experience. That would be my only suggestion.

I got my graff on, and I'm all the better for it. If you find yourself itching to throw some paint on a wall, and test your artistic grit, check out Graff Tours in Bushwick. I saw the experience on the Fever app, and have been letting creative juices flow from late last year into the new year, so I got my ticket after reading all the reviews raving about the experience. I think it's also special to learn the craft of the art in the OG home of graffiti (The Bronx and Brooklyn share equal fame, right?). It was a mini-adventure to find the Graff Tours spot, so it's best to arrive 10-15 minutes early to make yourself at home. Our instructor, Isabelle (@isabelle_ewing_), got there on time to welcome the three groups into the studio on the second floor. The stairs up are quite narrow and steep – just a heads up for those who might care! The studio has ample space to throw my coat and belongings on a chair, as well as walking space so I don't bump into other folks. Each group (mix of natives, tourists, transplants) naturally picked a side and stayed there for the remainder of the experience. Isabelle gave us a short intro to the graffiti paint, the different styles we would try it, and we jumped into the world of graffiti! The instruction was simple and straightforward – we could play around with bubble letters, rectangular letters, and give the famous Wild Style a go. We were asked to choose a tag, be it your name, slogan, or a phrase. I went with a nickname a recent work colleague bestowed on me, and away Isabelle went with giving me the outline to then fill in myself. Quickly one realizes how strenuous spraying graffiti with the same wrist can be! Here I just switched to my non-dominant hand and continued on my merry way. I lost myself in the intensity of the experience at many points! This was a playground for my inner child. Isabelle checked in often, and I also asked her questions about her graffiti art and life. She was patient with me as a I workshopped a tag and for that, I am grateful. I do wish the experience was 30 minutes longer. I miraculously managed to keep my entire outfit paint free, and there are gloves available, though I opted for a free manicure. We were given a small take-home canvas to spray our final designs on, but I preferred playing around with the large murals we made on the walls and found it more difficult to replicate the design on the canvas, with it being much smaller (at this point, speed would be your best friend since you'll probably be opting for much finer and thinner lines to fit within the canvas frame). I decided to leave the canvas there, and take home photos and memories instead. I think it'd be cool to take another class, maybe leveling up for those who've gone to the intro class? That way we could continue designing a tag, and finding our own styles, symbols, and motifs. Just an idea! I'd sign up. There's something so invigorating and zen about graffiti painting. Also – a huge shout-out to the Graff Tours customer service. I appreciate you working with me to iron out that kink!

We had a great time learning (or trying) to use spray paint. Isabel has a cool style and helps you make your art stand out. Recommended if you want to try a different experience than normal tourist things while in the city

I had a great experience with Isabelle, she was patient with me and actually taught me to spray my own mural after one lesson and never having used a spray can in my life for the purpose of creating art. She's happy to share her knowledge and technique; I'm excited to book more lessons with her. Glad I discovered Grafftours in NYC

Came here for a work event. It was a lot of fun. It began with a tour of close by graffiti and a historical telling of the works or graffiti. The paint is water based so you don’t have to worry about noxious fumes and needing masks or gloves. They also provide them if you need them. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and reflects a long history of involvement in the world of graffiti. I would recommend it and may have some bday party here!

We had a great time during our tour. We saw beautiful graffiti and heard interesting historical facts about the region and the art itself. Can definitely recommend 👏🏻
