Unarthodox

Fun date night activity / friend night activity! Staff was awesome and very friendly and attentive. Great ambience and they give some good guidance in the beginning before you put the blindfolds on to sculpt. Fun experience having them play loud music and spread different scents around the room. Cool activity as it's very unique

My husband brought me here as a surprise for my birthday last year, and what a surprise it was! We came for the sculpt-without-sight class.

You're in for an exceptional, emotional, enjoyable and all around unique experience at Unarthodox.

I had no idea what to expect when we walked in - it was a bunch of bald clay heads, folding chairs, smocks and dim lights.

They have beer and wine for purchase, or you can stick with water or soda - it's all available.

The music was probably the most moving, especially being blindfolded. I went in with a certain vision before putting on my blindfold, but as the music continued and I had to rely solely on my senses, it took me down memory lane and I ended up sculpting something entirely different. I am pretty sure I even cried at some point.

I highly recommend this for everyone! It's definitely something worth experiencing at least once. I know I am definitely looking forward to going back again.

My friend and I did the sculpture without sight class and it was so interesting.

I wasn't sure what to expect but it wasn't that. Despite the blindfolds, it's easy to feel and sculpt (albeit not great). The music and the incense help eat the mood and ambiance. The woman who was our "guide" was super great and funny.

This was a really fun experience and would do it again. Would recommend to others.

This was a fresh and fun thing to do for date night! We took a "sculpting without sight" class and Sarah was the best & funniest instructor.

I love the background music and aroma therapy smells while doing the sculpting.

They had beer and wine available to purchase as well!

My husband and I have attended two sessions at Unarthodox and really enjoyed both. One class was a night with Picasso and the other was blindfolded sculpting. The location is on the 3rd floor of a building. It's a nice size with good lighting, music and a clean bathroom. There are non-alcoholic drinks available for purchase and some events are BYOB. You are provided all art materials, in addition to an apron. There are also photo opportunities, and the studio will provide you with a link sent to your email with photos they take throughout your session.

A Night with Picasso: It felt really intimate and I enjoyed having a theme to keep us inspired. We were there with two other couples. The person leading the session was a lot of fun and very encouraging. The painting experience was low pressure and the music helped with keeping flow/relaxation. The other painters were fun spirited and good companions, throughout the experience.

Sculpture without Sight: This was my favorite of the two activities. The class was fully packed and the energy was great! The teachers leading the session were awesome and encouraging. I loved trying a new activity in an environment that felt safe from judgment and had good vibes. Despite being a guided and structured activity, there was room for creativity. Important to note: you will NOT be taking your sculpture home after the class is finished.

Overall, I would love to take another class at Unarthodox.


**The elevator on one of our visits didn't work. If you are someone who cannot take the stairs, this location may be inaccessible to you, since the elevator is not reliable.

**If you are a larger person, the chairs are VERY flimsy. You can ask for a sturdier chair, but keep in mind that option isn't great either.

What an amazing experience
I surprise my fiancé on date night

Art without sight, it's located in an area that have enough parking. A building in the 3floor

When we arrived there was a very friendly host, she guided us to our seat.
The host Jake and Alex was so amazing
The entire experience technically last for 1 hour
You don't get to take your sculpture home
During the experience, you have to be blindfolded
And they play relaxing music through the entire experience.

I highly recommend it for anyone who trying to experience something new and different

Had a great time Sculpting Without Sight. I arrived about 15 mins late and was worried I would have to reschedule but they still let me in. The sculpting time went by quicker than I expected. We started blindfolded then took our blindfolds down about half way through to access then continued blindfolded. The staff took plenty of great photos which we were able to download through Google photos the next day. 10/10!

Such a fun experience! I went with one of my friends, and we both thoroughly enjoyed our time. They have an array of beverages you can choose from to purchase, and walk through the basic steps of sculpting. The experience was truly immersive, as once you're blindfolded music begins to play and scenes are released into the air. I would highly recommend this fun experience for any occasion!

We had a team-building event here (Night with Picasso) which was a lot of fun. The instructors gave just enough guidance so that everyone enjoyed it, regardless of their artistic experience. They included our company logo in the signage and visuals, which was a nice touch.

The event was very well-run and the staff was incredibly coordinated and communicated. The only thing that was less than ideal was that we didn't have the full time: they put away painting 20 minutes before our event end time and we were out the door with at least 10 minutes left. However I would still recommend the event and do it again.

- staff was personable
- instructor was clear and helpful
- came for sculpting without sight ($68pp)
- wine by the glass or bottle available for purchase as well as beer and prosecco
- planned the evening for my friends birthday and he loved it
- I have sensory issues so it was a little overwhelming for me but still an enjoyable experience that I would recommend for anyone looking to do something a bit outside of the box
- they play music throughout the experience (you're blindfolded while sculpting) and the staff walk around with various scents to accompany your artistic journey
- I was fine with most of the smells except the incense which was very strong but passed relatively quickly
- the music though pleasant was extremely loud. Like I could feel the base in my chest loud, my experience wouldve been a lot better had it been at a more reasonable listening volume
- they also take photos for you and email them to whoever made the reservation

Drinks, laughs, intimate lighting and...mud? Count me in!

It's wintertime in NYC and safe entertainment feels hard to come by as we all go through the latest COVID wave with Omicron. Thankfully, Unarthodox offers a great opportunity for folks to have a unique immersive blindfolded sculpting experience during these challenges times, and it's much appreciated.

From the check-in to leaving the door, everything about the experience was welcoming and fun. When you get in, they check your vaccination card and let you place your coats on hangers. They bring you to a table and then the person taking your orders happens to also be the lead for the experience, Nick. The drink selection is very limited (wine, sodas, and maybe three beers). You only get one opportunity to get a drink, so order two if that's your jam.

The actual sculpting bits were really fun. I usually feel uncomfortable doing anything blindfolded. But after a few minutes, I got really into it and had a great laugh during the 'peek a boo' moment. Another great aspect of the experience is that they take care of the photo taking for you. I was really happy with the photos they took.

Highly recommend folks check this place out!
