  • 5/5 from Rita Powell, attended Sep 2023: I loved every minute. I have Arthritis which affects my hands as well as other places and am unable to do many of the Crafts I used to do. I managed to do this and was pleased with the outcome. The Teacher Becky was wonderful and soooo patient with us all, some of us quite elderly.
  • 5/5 from Patricia Amies, attended Sep 2023: Yet another enjoyable workshop at Hobbycraft Norwich. It was great to try an activity that was completely new to the three of us. Becky explained things well for the 4 different techniques. Good quality materials and plenty left to explore further with at home.
  • 5/5 from Patricia, attended Sep 2023: Absolutely great from beginning to end. Tutor was informative friendly and helpful, also letting us proceed through each stage at a doable pace so will also give her 5 stars. Good value for money and will certainly recommend to friends.
  • 5/5 from Caron Pain, attended Jun 2023: We had the best time thank you! Our tutor Becky was brilliant. Would love to do another more advanced course in paint pouring. So much fun!
  • 5/5 from Pen Robinson, attended May 2023: I thought this was an excellent workshop. The instructor (Becky) was friendly and helpful, and gave us good, clear instructions and plenty of encouragement. I was very pleased with the material provided, and am looking forward to doing more acrylic pouring soon.
  • 5/5 from Elizabeth Ritchie, attended May 2023: Great value for money, and I learnt a lot Lovely and helpful teacher too. Great to learn a new skill.
  • 5/5 from Tracey Moore, attended May 2023: I really enjoyed learning the art of Paint Pouring and experimenting with different techniques. Taught in a relaxed, friendly and helpful way, in a pleasant venue. I left feeling pleased with the coasters and canvas I paint-poured in the workshop, I'm inspired and looking forward to using the kit I brought home to make more colourful creations!
  • 5/5 from Susan George, attended Mar 2023: Teacher was very helpful encouraging and enthusiastic. I had such a brilliant time. I’m thoroughly enjoying this hobby and it would be fantastic if there were further tutorials / courses so that I can improve and move forward.
  • 5/5 from Katie Booty, attended Feb 2023: My friend and I really enjoyed this class. Becky was very helpful and friendly. We’ll be sure to look out for other workshops. Now we’ve done a begginers class, a more advanced class would be great. Thanks!
  • 5/5 from Hilary Bythell, attended Feb 2023: This was the first Hobbycraft course I have tried and honestly recommend it. The venue was convenient and the workshop light and airy. Our teacher was friendly and gave lots of tips and encouragement on how to use the medium from basic mixing and application to more advanced styles exhibited around the store. While suggesting alternative and extra materials to achieve these different effects and so add to the generous kit they gave us. Hopefully another class to follow!
  • 5/5 from Anne Bird, attended Jan 2023: This was a great taster course. I had done some pouring before but had lost my confidence and this was a great way to kick start again. The kit is fab and you have plenty left over to play with at home! I found the instruction easy to understand. The tables were upstairs, away from the main shop traffic, so we weren't disturbed. Would love to see a longer course, maybe 2 hours, so we can practice some different techniques! A great course and really enjoyable.
  • 5/5 from Jenny Cogman, attended Jan 2023: The instructor was very helpful, giving easy to follow instructions and I was pleased with the results of my efforts. I had not realised how messy I was going to get.
  • 5/5 from Gemma Beard, attended Dec 2022: I loved this workshop! The tutor, Becky, was great - really enthusiastic and helpful, giving great direction and encouragement :-) I was really pleased with how my pictures came out (and can’t wait to do some more). It would be brilliant if Hobbycraft offered a follow-on workshop with some further techniques. Thanks so much!
  • 5/5 from Gemma Love, attended Nov 2022: Excellent class for the paint pouring. Great teacher & really enjoyed it. Would be great to have a longer class where you can try different techniques. Highly recommend this class!
  • 5/5 from Marina Bester, attended Nov 2022: It was amazing, the time just flies by and the fact that you can keep the whole kit rocks
  • 5/5 from Sarah Whittaker-Jones, attended Oct 2022: The teacher Becky was very good, she really enjoyed explaining how to do different techniques. As I was a bit more experienced we had fun trying different techniques and using different materials. It would be good if more advanced classes were available, as some some people will have more experience than others.. The area wasn’t very good as we kept being interrupted by customer’s which wasn’t very helpful for both student and tutor.
  • 5/5 from Lisa Turner, attended Aug 2022: The class was very fun and becky the tutor was a great teacher very patient and informative.
  • 5/5 from Karen Ross, attended Aug 2022: Thank you Becky for a great class! Lauren had a great time and is thrilled with her artwork. The kit was great and we’ve come home with lots to use and loads of ideas to try. It was a brilliant way to try something new and inspire us to try more! Definitely recommended
  • 5/5 from Marie Evans, attended Aug 2022: Becky was great. Really friendly. Had great fun doing the workshop, all materials were provided and I got to bring home 2 paintings. Hope they do a more advanced workshop soon
  • 5/5 from Kim Shreeve, attended Jun 2022: It was a small class so felt comfortable and the ease of the tutor was brilliant. We were shown a few techniques to complete 2 paintings and given lots of advice along the way. Hats off to becky the teacher she was fantastic and made me feel totally at ease. I would definitely recommend
  • 5/5 from Katherine, attended Jun 2022: Bought two places as birthday present for daughter (13) and friend. Amazing art work and loads of additional stuff to bring home. Tutor really friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Lucy Wright, attended Mar 2022: Great fun! You get all the materials you need in a kit. Lots of different paint colours to try! Metallics looked great on the canvas. Teacher was lovey. Very supportive & encouraging. Great introduction to paint pouring. Wish the class was longer than an hour. Would’ve liked to have done more & stayed longer. Looking forward to doing the next one.
  • 5/5 from Val Kerridge, attended Feb 2022: Amazing hour run by Becky who was fantastic. Didn’t know what to expect except it would be messy, and it was! Such fun though, only wish the class was longer. Maybe extra 1/2 hour would have been beneficial to tutor and pupils. The box of materials provided were outstanding. Far more than I expected which made it great value. I would definitely recommend it and more than happy to learn more. Thank you. Val
