  • 5/5 from Ian Houghton, attended Aug 2026: Fantastic fun!! The hour flew by. Can’t wait to get the results of our efforts up on the wall. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 from Jenny Key, attended Feb 2026: We really enjoyed our session on acrylic pouring. Koby was very knowledgable and made the session a positive experience. He explained everything including why the paint reacted in certain ways. We would not have had the confidence or as much fun if we had done this at home on our own. I look forward to booking more experiences with Hobbycraft.

  • 5/5 from Louise Brooks, attended Aug 2025: Friendly and informative. Great kit to get me started and a brilliant hands on class, which left me feeling inspired. I look forward to more classes in the future.
  • 5/5 from Sheena Haseler, attended Nov 2024: The teacher on the course was good and helpful. Materials provided were good during the session with plenty left for me to continue to use at home. I look forward to collecting my finished pieces once they are dry.

  • 5/5 from Mary, attended Aug 2024: We had a lovely time at this workshop - Danielle was an amazing teacher, very enthusiastic and encouraging! We were able to try out a few different techniques and still have some paints, coasters and canvasses to do some more at home afterwards. We were also able to leave the paintings at the shop to dry and collect at a later date which was really helpful!
  • 5/5 from Julie Day, attended May 2024: The teacher was brilliant and patient, the class was good value. I liked being able to try a new technique under supervision/instruction in person at my own pace.

  • 5/5 from Tina Wright, attended Apr 2024: Danielle was really good explaining the materials and process. She showed how to measure and prepare the paint and demonstrated different ways of pouring to create the basic effects.

I'd recommend it to anyone who likes to try new effects, good value for money as the kit is included.

  • 4/5 from Carole Petts, attended Aug 2022: Pretty good, I would agree about the techniques being used being quite samey, and we didn't move on to the supplied panel, which was frustrating as I was hoping to get some tips on how to deal with edges.

  • 3/5 from Rita Gilbert, attended Apr 2022: Lovely lady but a little timid.
