  • 5/5 from Ryan Steddy, attended May 2025: Great introduction to paint pouring. We were complete beginners and learned how to do it, and also came out with works of art we were proud of and the materials and knowledge to try more on our own. I would really recommend doing it.

  • 5/5 from Sarah-Jayne Ostle, attended Dec 2024: I thoroughly enjoyed this class, the time just flew by. The teacher was excellent, friendly and very informative. Even though, sadly, there was not enough time to try them out, she explained all the possible ways to achieve different finishes. She also explained the chemistry behind the reactions rather than just being told to do this or that. The large box set of materials given for the class and to take home was also very impressive.
