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!

We have attended several workshops, this one was exceptional - thank you Ben.

  • 5/5 from Lyndsey Butler, attended Nov 2022: Our tutor Chris was excellent! He made our experience fun and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The kit was great value for money and has left us with more of the product to use at home. Only wish there were single colour paints to top up with in store. Absolutely loved the art we made. Overall a great afternoon!

  • 5/5 from Hema Bongirwar, attended Mar 2022: Enjoyed a lot, it’s good to learn some new art & I would like to explore more new art. Teacher & teaching was perfect & guality of products provided we’re also good. I would love to do advance level class.
  • 3/5 from Chris Bannister, attended Jan 2022: On the plus side I was the only attendee which gave me more one to one time and discussion with Ben. The down side of this was that There were no discussions or exchange of ideas with a group of people. Had I been informed that I was the only one, I might have deferred to a later date with more people. Ben was really helpful, provided good environment and useful ideas. I was really pleased with my first attempt at paint pouring and the equipment provided/supplied was excellent. Thanks to Ben.
