They also sell a line of printed clothing - really interesting work, and a chance to take home an exceptional souvenir. (If you don't take the workshop, you could still have a super visit to the gallery, which is close to the La Perseverancia Market and lots of eating options.)

He helped us bring a real piece of work to the streets of Barcelona! I highly recommend this trip if you love to create. My two teen boys (15, 16) truly had a great time. I loved that we weren’t standing in line with all…”

Saturday the 8th we were at the designated meeting spot .... 15 minutes early.... and no one showed up. I called you Paris number and got a recording in french. No Graffiti Workshop for us... only a broken heart... and a blown Saturday afternoon. I think your curriculum sounded good.
