  • 5/5 from Lynne Brown, attended Sep 2026: Jackie - our teacher - was brilliant, going over how to use all the products, giving little tips on things she learnt over time, explaining techniques with brilliant demonstrations, loved every minute and now I'm completely hooked!! Thank you ️️️️️
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Sep 2026: Very enjoyable class, motivates me to make it a regular hobby! Enthusiastic instructor who gave a lot of practical advice.

  • 5/5 from Christian, attended Jul 2026: Really enjoyable class and well organised. Jacqui the teacher was thorough and entertaining. The boardroom where the class was held (in the Wimbledon store) was much better than shop floor for this type of craft class. As it was 30+ degrees outside on the day, the a/c was so welcome and made a big difference. Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Bob Pearson, attended Jun 2026: Jcqui delivered our Acrlyic Pouring session at Hobbycdraft Wimbledon on Friday 19th June as part of a celebration of my wife's birthday. Jacqui was EXCELLENT - very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and clearly loved what she was doing as this came across in in theway that she delivered the session. Thank you for helping to make my wife's birthday such a special day for her...
  • 5/5 from Cathy, attended Jun 2026: Had the most amazing session with Jacqueline who showed all the techniques for acrylic pouring. This was absolutely brilliant and the time simply flew! I got to try out a number of different pours and left with a whole load of paints as well. I cannot recommend this enough - thank you!!!
  • 5/5 from Krupa Davda, attended May 2026: Loved the workshop! Everything from the format to the kit we got to take home was fab! The facilitators really made every effort to give us all the knowledge on the techniques and were so lovely and thorough!! I felt guided really well through the workshop. And the workshop was so much fun too!
  • 5/5 from Leia Andrews, attended May 2026: I am the least artistic person ever - I can barely write my own name - so I felt a bit anxious when booking but I needn’t have worried. The instructors were so nice and reassuring, and for the first time ever I felt like art/crafting is something achievable for me. Thank you!!
  • 5/5 from Fay O'Connell, attended May 2026: Great class by Sharon at Hobbycraft at Wimbledon. We were shown and completed two individual canvases of acrylic paint pouring using different techniques. Be mindful it can be messy re clothing. Although we were given gloves. If you have long hair, maybe tie back. Plus bring some wipes for your hands at the end of the session. Also you will have to take it home & the pieces are still wet. You are given a box to assist in the journey home. Bonus was also taking home, the hobby craft session box which retails at £30.
  • 5/5 from Daiva Daugeliene, attended May 2026: A well-organised and thoughtfully planned session, with a friendly, pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, and a lovely teacher. A great introduction to the pouring technique for beginners. Excellent value for money.
  • 5/5 from Robin Bradley, attended May 2026: Great teacher and excellent introduction to this amazing paint technique. Couldn't quite believe that we got to take home a kit worth over £30 - fabulous value.
  • 2/5 from Jayne Magowan, attended Apr 2026: Class cancelled at very short notice because of teacher being sick - don't have an issue with this. However, no alternative date was offered for another class, and 2 days later, i was just issued an email for a refund. Sadly this was very impersonal and not customer friendly and leaves a bad taste when considering any future bookings.
  • 1/5 from Daiva Daugeliene, attended Apr 2026: Unfortunately this class was cancelled at the last moment because of the teacher’s illness.
  • 5/5 from Siobhan Whelan, attended Feb 2026: This was a fantastic class. Jacqui was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Jacqui showed me the basics in a very informative way, she was very empathetic as I was a complete beginner. I was given loads of hits and tips for my on going projects and gave me some very sound advice for purchasing products. Thank you Jacqui I’ll look out for the advanced class with you.

  • 5/5 from Angie Parke, attended Jun 2023: Very knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging workshop teacher. I got to make 2 different colour combination pours using paints and canvases from our kits. As the canvases take 24-36 hours to dry and I arrived by public transport I opted to collect the from store a couple of days later. However if you travelled by car it would be possible to transport them in a shallow box. I was pleasantly surprised that the kit which I was given to keep was worth as much as the cost of the class. The teacher also took us round store to show us where refill items were.
  • 5/5 from Natalia Cabello, attended Jun 2023: The teacher was great and really enjoyed the class. The kit that you get is awesome.

  • 5/5 from Morwenna Rogers, attended Jan 2023: I can't think of a better, more fun way to spend an afternoon! Jackie was a fantastic teacher - very clear, approachable and fun in her teaching - and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. The Hobbycraft kit package was excellent, containing more than I was expecting, and I'm looking forward to carrying on at home.

  • 5/5 from Sonali Kulkarni, attended Dec 2022: The session was really good value for money. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt good techniques. Jacqui was a really good teacher who was very friendly and patient. I would love to attend another session like this because of Jacqui. Work place in Wimbledon store was nice and clean. We were given good material too. Very pleased with the session.
  • 5/5 from Jane Linsley, attended Dec 2022: Jacqui was a really good teacher. Explained and demonstrated very clearly, was patient with me and willing to repeat information. She was encouraging and fun and I just wish the session had gone on longer! It would be good if the same group could meet again to move forward with skills. Good supply of paint and equipment. Room clean and pleasant and we didn’t have to clear up! Very good.
  • 5/5 from Becky Compton, attended Nov 2022: The class was brilliant, my Mum and I went for my birthday treat and there was only the two of us so we had a private lesson which was fantastic. Jacqui took time to explain the process and methods and was very skilled and knowledgeable. Her enthusiasm was infectious and it made it a lot of messy fun. It was also great having Cathy there to help. It was so interesting to see how different the results were from using different colours and methods. We both absolutely loved it and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Great value for money too.
