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 Lisa Green, attended Jun 2026: Had an amazing time. Well taught by a lovely enthusiastic host. Would definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Dec 2023: This class was so good! The teacher (Kirsty) was really fun and engaging. I felt like I learnt a good amount and that it was really good value for money. I'd definitely do another one.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Dec 2023: Really enjoyed this workshop. It was a gift for my friend for their birthday, so we attended this workshop together. We both had a lovely time. The workshop host, Kirsty, was brilliant - funny, helpful and enthusiastic, with a naturally lovely and bubbly personality. Massive thank you to Kirsty for holding the workshop and making it a lovely experience. She is a credit to Hobbycraft. Would definitely recommend.
  • 4/5 from Naomi, attended Dec 2023: Thoroughly enjoyed the acrylic paint pouring class. Kirsty our teacher was fun and very helpful. She provided all the equipment we needed and answered all our questions about the task and knowing what to do if we wanted to try again to make more. The workshop is great value for money and I cant wait to use the kit we got to take home.
  • 4/5 from Tina Elsworth, attended Dec 2023: We did think it would be a separate room, not in the middle of a shop with people wanting to get through either side. The tuter was Kirsty. Lovely, enthusiastic and encouraging. We have yet to fetch them. I do wish we were a bit more private. We had children wanting to join in and poke.
  • 4/5 from Tina, attended Dec 2023: Kirsty is a lovely person who put us both at ease. She provided all the equipment and explained how to do it very clear. The thing we were disappointed with was the fact it was set in the middle of the store, in the middle of 2 aisles, so people were passing either side of us whilst trying to move around. Children wanted to have a go and wouldn't move. Even if we would have been put up a corner, we probably wouldn't have been knocked so much. We loved our box of paints though
  • 5/5 from Lara, attended Oct 2023: Teacher was lovely, friendly, knowledgeable. Talked over different techniques. Lovely advice and encouragement Will come to another one
  • 5/5 from Maria-Mercedes France, attended Jul 2023: My teacher was called Kirsty she was Brilliant, there was just me, the venue was in the middle of the Store (Merry Hill), All items were supplied, I decorated some Coasters, which had to stay there until they were dry, which apparently takes 2 to 3 days, they will then box them up for me and I can go down in a few days to pick them up, also I was given a Starter Kit with everything in it to start painting at home, the 1 Hour was really worth it and I will definitely Recommend it to my Friends and Family, Kirsty was also extremely patient with me, she was funny, polite and just a Really nice Young Lady to meet.
  • 5/5 from Claire Sebastiano, attended Jul 2023: This was my first workshop and I really enjoyed it. Kirsty was very friendly and informative, will definitely book other workshops in the future. The only downside was that people thought I was a member of staff and kept asking me questions!
  • 5/5 from Faye Hunt, attended May 2023: Our instructor Kirsty was brilliant! So helpful and we had a great time lots of fun and laughter too! The pack we got was brilliant can't wait to keep practicing!
  • 5/5 from Esther Furze, attended Dec 2022: Absolutely loved it. Went home coveted in paint. Will be back to do another one.
  • 5/5 from Joanne Evans, attended Oct 2022: Very good lesson and very patient instructor. I really enjoyed it. Equipment was included in the price and there was plenty left to bring home.
  • 5/5 from Kirsty Palmer, attended May 2022: Excellent value for money. Staff very informative, friendly and creative. Had loads of ideas, literally, outside of the box and plenty of inspiration in the store.
  • 4/5 from Kathleen James, attended May 2022: A little apprehensive when I booked the workshop, not really knowing what to expect. Fears were unfounded. I was the only person booked, the teacher was very friendly and immediately put me at ease. I can fully understand why children enjoy messy play. Very relaxing and results stunning.
  • 5/5 from Karen Yardley, attended Apr 2022: Katherine was absolutely brilliant she answered all of my questions and looked after me well very knowledgeable about the session give my thanks
