  • 5/5 from Bev, attended May 2026: I was bought a voucher for acrylic paint pouring as a Christmas present but I couldn't find a class locally, and we couldn't book online for a private class as there were only 2 of us. However, the staff at Tamworth HobbyCraft agreed to set up a private class for us, which we attended today, 10th May. The teacher, Sonia, was lovely, friendly and very informative and we had a great time, producing two canvasses and two coasters each. I would highly recommend this class and will definitely be continuing with acrylic paint pouring as the results were really impressive.
  • 5/5 from Sally Stevens, attended May 2026: What a fantastic experience! The Acrylic paint pouring class with Chris was brilliant. I’ve done many crafts in my life, but this one is new to me. Excellent value, lots of hints and tips, and lots of fun. And the rest of the kit to take home too. It was fascinating to see how the paint moves around and changes as it does so. Shapes appear as if by magic and the patterns created are quite magical. Looking forward to trying more at home. Highly recommended!
  • 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!

And the workshop was so much fun too!
