  • 5/5 from Monica Ballam, attended Oct 2022: My son and I had a lovely lady called Amy showing us how use acrylic to create art through pouring. We were presented with a box each full of material and plenty more to take home. Lovely pieces that we will collect in a few days time as they need time to dry. Fabulous class. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Sue Tubb, attended Aug 2022: I was lucky as there was only myself booked on this course so I had a 1-1 class. The teacher was very approachable and friendly, explained the techniques really well, and was encouraging without being patronising. She also gave me tips for advancing my technique and ideas for projects at home, as well as practical advice.
  • 5/5 from Rachel Burton, attended Aug 2022: Our tutor Amy was welcoming, kind, knowledgeable and gave us the confidence to experiment. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The materials were great - enough supplied to use during the workshop with enough left over to take home and continue the Acrylic Paint Pouring we had learned. Good value for money and would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Melanie Hope, attended Jul 2022: Fabulous messy fun. A really enjoyable class, Amy was full of great advice and tips on getting the most out of the class. Looking forward to producing more original art at home.
  • 5/5 from Julie Forshaw, attended Jul 2022: Fantastic workshop to learn the basics of fluid art. The kit provided was excellent value, everything you need to complete the workshop and plenty to take home to continue exploring this art. Amy our tutor at the Altrincham store was excellent, very knowledgeable, helpful and encouraging. I completed 3 small canvases and left feeling confident to continue with this journey. I would highly recommend this introductory workshop to anyone who is interested in fluid art and not sure how to begin.
  • 5/5 from Meryl Ringland, attended Jun 2022: Really loved my first workshop. It was a pleasure to meet Amy. She was a great teacher and I've learned some great techniques which I will use again. I am very pleased with finished pieces!

  • 5/5 from Claire Roberts, attended Apr 2022: The fluid art workshop was the best the fluid art box included was fantastic the teacher was amazing thanks so much
  • 5/5 from Audrey Faulkner, attended Jan 2022: I really enjoyed this workshop, first time using paint pouring. Amy was great and gave a lot of hints and tips and looking forward to collecting my paintings. I found an hour wasn’t long enough, could do with being an hour and half to 2 hours.
