  • 5/5 from Sonya Miles, attended Oct 2025: Enjoyable afternoon with friends, clear instruction, left with lots of equipment that was included in the price a new skills to use arts and crafts. Worth the money. Easy to find the venue. Really helpful staff

  • 5/5 from Christine Harrison, attended May 2025: Really enjoyed this class. Left with 4 lovely coasters & also purchased the glaze to make sure they last. I will have another go at home too as I was able to take the kit away with me after the session.
  • 5/5 from Annette Richer, attended May 2025: I was really interested in learning about acrylic pouring and so pleased to find an actual in house workshop. Jack was very good at talking through all the steps. He was nice and encouraging and answered any questions I asked. A really good workshop and I would definitely attend others in the future.
  • 5/5 from Larisa Vainsteina, attended May 2025: I recommend attending the workshop. I spent an interesting and informative hour there. For me, as a beginner, it was a great motivation to start something new. The painting experience is truly captivating! It was definitely worth it, especially since you get a paint kit included — and you're left with a handmade piece as a lasting memory.
  • 5/5 from Mel Willcox, attended Apr 2025: Had a super paint pouring class with Jack as part of a mothers day present. All resources were included, with enough to take home & continue the fun. Instructions from Jack were really clear & he was patient and kind throughout. Plus we had a print out of instructions in case we needed reminding later. Made 4 coasters each - very pleased with the results (ClassBento won't accept my photo but they look tacky cool!) Would definitely recommend to others.
  • 5/5 from Shirley Otway, attended Apr 2025: Jack was very clear and very patient!! It lead to us all having great fun and coming away with tiles to be proud of. Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Jacqueline Milne, attended Jul 2023: Great fun and we thoroughly enjoyed the session. Great products and great teacher. We did lots of paint pouring and enjoyed using the products. Great value for money too.
  • 5/5 from Maureen Gaskin, attended Nov 2021: The tutor Dan was lovely and so well qualified in every area of arts and crafts. I had been expecting just a sales assistant to be running the class! The materials were nicely laid out and everything was explained. We were given a lovely box of materials to use and a brilliant pouring canvas to take home. We had 4 small canvas boards to work on in the class. Dan explained and demonstrated the various techniques which I found very interesting. I was pleased with what I managed to produce in the short time. The course was amazing value for money and I would like to do more of these courses in the future. It was also a nice quiet space in the shop where we weren’t surrounded by other shoppers. Was great. Thanks Dan
  • 5/5 from Judy Neves, attended Nov 2021: Had a really fun hour. Dan the teacher was enthusiastic and encouraging. We learnt different techniques and not knowing what the outcome would be added to the interest.
  • 5/5 from Kemuel Alves, attended Oct 2021: Mr Dan is a great teacher, professional, friendly, teaches very well. all necessary materials were available for the workshop. I learned to make fluid paintings using many different techniques, and even though it was the first time I got beautiful results.
  • 5/5 from Margit Jones-Hochstrasser, attended Oct 2021: Dan was great! He was extremely attentive and incredibly helpful. He made the hour disappear in no time. The workshop was interactive, hands on, fun and great value. An extra hour to explore some medium options and learn I.e. more cell activation work and what to do if we want to start from scratch would have been fab. Definitely worth the time and every minute. The starter set was a great benefit in addition to coming away with three of my own art pieces! ️ A wonderful introduction to fluid art seeing immediate results. I wholeheartedly recommend this workshop.
