I had time to do two canvases which were left at Hobbycraft to dry, for me to collect the following day. Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Kelly Kalawsky, attended Aug 2022: Great workshop at Southend Hobbycraft. I was guided through the process of making 2 types of paintings and was able to ask questions throughout. Workshop classes are small which is good.
