This workshop was a gift for my 15 year old nephew's birthday. He is a budding graffiti artist. Four of us newbies joined him (ages 34, 34, 38 and 62). The instructor started by showing us basic techniques and was also able to keep my more experienced nephew happy by showing him some new things and by providing some constructive criticism. A great time was had by all!
