Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

  • 5/5 from Melanie Paige-Dickins, attended Feb 2023: The tutor was great and I felt it was very good value for money. Thank you very much.
  • 4/5 from Ros Rixon, attended Feb 2023: Alex the teacher was excellent. Really helpful and fun. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the class and would love to go to one at the next level. The work area was better than expected and in an area separated from the main shop. Our paint boxes were fantastic with lots of beautiful paint colours and everything we needed to do the paint pour. My only little gripe is that we used practically all the paint in the bottles and so much of it was wasted. I think we could have used a lot less for each pour so we would have enough left to take home to complete the larger framed canvas. Absolutely loved the class though and would definitely go to to another class there. Many thanks.
  • 5/5 from Caroline Browning, attended Oct 2022: We loved it, our daughter was the participant she was insistent on doing it (age is 9) she loved it!, I don’t think it would be suitable for any younger and it can be messy on the hands and clothes, the teacher was fab, friendly, patient and knowledgeable but also allowing her the freedom to do it as she pleased, the venue could be a little cosier feels bare and cold but that’s the only thing I can pick a fault with, at first I thought pricey but we got the whole pack of equipment included, paints 4 practice canvas and a framed canvas to end with and get to keep whatever paint left over plus utensils! Fab had a lovely experience together and will be doing more in future.
  • 5/5 from Blandine Legrix, attended Jun 2022: A wonderful course attended by my niece as a present. She thought it was super fun. Beautiful painting made and lots of material taken home to do some more.
  • 5/5 from Roberta Griffith, attended May 2022: Our teacher Alex was fun, her suggestions for our pouring class worked well and she was enthusiastic. It was great to see she enjoyed the class as much as we did. The parcel was so much fun to open even though we knew what was in it! It contained everything we needed, my only criticism, the hour was not quite long enough. We were fortunate to be able to overrun a little. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our time.
  • 4/5 from Liz Spurway, attended Apr 2022: An enjoyable time exploring a new painting technique which would be very suitable for children as it was messy
  • 5/5 from Chandni Patel, attended Oct 2021: Jess was a great teacher and really friendly. Lovely way to spend an hour learning a new craft. Very easy to do, the most difficult part was picking from the choice of colours!
