  • 5/5 from Penny, attended Jun 2024: Really enjoyed this workshop, it was good to get extra tips to try different things. The lady running the course was lovely, friendly and approachable. I would suggest stating in the description that items require to weeks to dry so you need to collect at a later date.
  • 5/5 from Julia Lewis, attended Nov 2023: We really enjoyed the session. It was great fun and a little messy which added to the enjoyment. The instructor was a lovely lady and gave us lots of tips. We are looking forward to collecting our pieces once they have dried.
  • 5/5 from Valerie Davis, attended Nov 2023: Great instruction and value for money. Kit provides plenty of paint for use in workshop plus lots left over for experimenting at home. Lots of fun and new techniques to try. Highly recommended
  • 5/5 from Seren, attended Oct 2023: Teacher was very friendly and kind. Acrylic paint pouring was wonderful experience for me and that was so enjoyable! I highly recommend it to those who want to take a short break.
  • 5/5 from Selma Saglik, attended Oct 2023: Sarah was absolutely brilliant, plentiful materials were provided. The whole experience was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
  • 5/5 from Angelina, attended Aug 2023: Amy was absolutely brilliant. She gave really clear information and was very warm, professional and positve.
  • 4/5 from Nicky, attended Aug 2023: Amy explained things really well and we managed to make 3 pieces in the time, which given the course was only an hour was pretty amazing. The kit provided was really good, with plenty of materials to take home to continue ‘playing’. Time flew by and I’m sure I missed a few tips as I was engrossed In making! Plenty of parking and easily accessible. A good time of day to do the course too! Lots of fun thank you Amy!
  • 5/5 from Natasha Day, attended Jul 2023: Literally had the best workshop ever, so much fun. I’m so impressed with no new skill.
  • 5/5 from Amanda Ross-Wallis, attended Jul 2023: Had a great time on the beginners paint pouring workshop. Amy was very knowledgeable, encouraging and enthusiastic about my pieces. Would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Valerie Beck, attended Jul 2023: A really enjoyable summer holiday craft workshop for myself and my 11 year old daughter. Our instructor, Amy, could not have better! She was so lovely, knowledgeable and provided assistance, hints and tips to help us create some really stunning paint effects. Fantastic to be able to do this messy craft in a space purposefully set up for it (not my kitchen). Really nice to craft in a small group and be able to get ideas from the results of the other participants. Plenty of materials left over to do more. Thoroughly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Pat McKee, attended Jul 2023: Amy talked us through the materials and how to use them so we were helped from the start. I enjoyed learning how to make coasters and pictures by moving the paint around. The materials were good and we were on a large table together which worked well. I look forward to collecting the finished work and trying out the bag of paints etc with my granddaughter. Good value for money. Thank you, Amy!
  • 5/5 from Jenny Woodruff, attended Jul 2023: Amy was a lovely and encouraging so that we felt safe to experiment. It was lots of fun but a slightly longer session would have allowed a bit more guidance.
  • 5/5 from Jan Goodier, attended Jul 2023: Excellent workshop. Teacher was very knowledgeable and materials provided were just right. Course good value for money. Only downside was it being held in a public area of the store as the teacher was constantly interrupted by customers needing assistance with finding items in store. A separate room would have been better.

  • 5/5 from Abbie Edwards, attended Dec 2022: Really enjoyed the session, Pam was a great teacher and I thought it was great value for money. The kit comes with everything I needed, and I was surprised at how easily I was able to make unique and impressive art! Thank you Pam!
  • 5/5 from Fran Mellings, attended Dec 2022: Fantastic box of goodies. Lovely tutor who explained what we had to do and helped where necessary. Did 3 canvasses on the night, brought the rest away to enjoy at home. Able to pick up dry canvasses later.
