    Fantastic tour exploring the ever changing street art in East London. Josh shared his knowledge and passion during the guided tour and he was a great mentor during the workshop. Highly recommended for anyone that has an appetite to learn more about street art.

    This was a fun and unique experience for me and my 12 year old daughter. It was nice to see a different part of the city and get background on the street art culture. The guide was very knowledgeable and humorous. He obviously has a passion for the topic which was nice to see! There was a lot of walking on this tour so make sure you have comfortable shoes and bottled water.

    Josh was an excellent guide and mentor on the activity. Really engaging, passionate and informative. The workshop was great fun and really gives insight into this art form and how technical and skilled the leading artists truly are. An awesome glimpse into a culturally significant world and the respect and hierarchy that exists within the space, from a beginner tagging and finding their style up to the more experienced (sometimes) funded artists who can create large scale pieces that are insanely complex and skilled! Not the end of our spray can fun...this was the beginning! Luke, Lulu, Connor and Leanne tags and stencils will be coming soon... :)
