Recent reviews of Beginner's Guide to Acrylic Paint Pouring

  • 5/5 from Julie White, attended Jun 2026: I really enjoyed the workshop and Dawn was very good at explaining and showing us what to do. It's my first time doing a workshop but it was really good so I would look at doing others. It was good fun and I'm looking forward to doing more paint pouring at home.
  • 5/5 from Cathryn Roberts, attended Mar 2026: Great class. Fabulous teacher full of helpful hints and tips and other ideas to develop in future pieces. Good information regarding health and safety and care of equipment. We started with a messy pour and then followed with a strategic pour so 2 canvasses and a coaster completed. I enjoyed choosing the colours and my intention was a coastal pattern or precious stones with their markings
  • 5/5 from Beverley Smith, attended Nov 2025: Excellent workshop. So easy and relaxed.
  • 5/5 from Eleanor Stone, attended Aug 2025: Very enjoyable and interesting workshop. Would have been better if it was longer than one hour. Complimentary craft kit was a bonus!
  • 4/5 from Sonia, attended Nov 2024: Girls really enjoyed the session. Abit messy and the paint doesn’t come off clothing so be careful with what you wear. But overall lots of fun!
  • 5/5 from Helen Bunyan, attended Feb 2024: Husband and I really enjoyed this acrylic pouring class with teacher Dawn. She explained and demonstrated two techniques, which we then tried ourselves. Great materials and fun - you get results so quickly! Need to leave the canvases at shop to dry for 2 weeks. We even went home with paint to continue the hobby at home. Good value, great teacher. Thanks!
  • 4/5 from Kymberley Orbin, attended Sep 2023: This was a good intro on paint pouting. I just wish the class was for longer
  • 5/5 from Dorothy Hudson, attended Jul 2023: Greatly enjoyed the session with Anna in store. She carefully guided me through this craft which was totally new to me. The course is good value as the session In store is only £1 more than the current price for kit in store and you get tuition. But as I purchased when the workshops were discounted, even better value Can highly recommend. One thing to note though is that you need to return to the store 3 days later to collect your artwork when it has dried. Maybe you could carry it home on the day, but go prepared with something suitable to carry some very wet /sticky items home.
  • 4/5 from Rosanna Turton, attended Jul 2023: I recommend this class. It will give you basic beginners information on acrylic pouring. I paid £24 for the class. I got 1 hour with the teacher and 1 other participant. The kit they give you to use in class and take home is worth over £40! A full acrylic pouring kit that they sell instore for £29. Plus 4 boards and a pouring box canvas that they sell for £11.50. We produced two pictures. You have to go back to collect them in 2 weeks. The session was advertised as making coasters but to be honest doing the pictures was much better.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Bytheway, attended Jun 2023: Enjoyed the session was getting some lovely ideas and lots of helpful tips. Very friendly will be doing more soon. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Holly Barker, attended Jan 2023: This class was fantastic for any beginners. Our instructor, Dawn, was amazing and she showed us everything we needed to know about getting started in paint pouring. It was clear that she really knew what she was talking about and gave us plenty of tips and tricks for future projects. I'd absolutely attend future classes.
  • 5/5 from Agnieszka Woj, attended Oct 2022: Great experience for my daughter, lovely teacher and with The huge kit being provided, great value for money.
  • 5/5 from Sol Gill, attended Sep 2022: Anna the host was friendly and professional. Great relaxing class with lots of tips given.
  • 5/5 from Judy Appleby, attended Aug 2022: Lucky to have One-to-one instruction from the knowledgeable Donna who provided a massive kit of pouring paints with everything you need for the one hour workshop. A new technique to me, similar to marbling in effect but easily and readily explained by Donna who made it all enjoyable. Very well worth a try if you haven’t done acrylic pouring before and very much a bargain hour with Donna’s guidance and a huge kit of paint and canvasses to take home. Only problem, I guess I’m now gonna need a bigger craft room!
  • 5/5 from Andrea Kay, attended Jun 2022: Very small relaxed class. Teacher was great and really looked after us. I was very surprised by the amount of materials in the kit, there is plenty of paint to do all 4 A5 canvasses and the square box canvas and the colours are a really good mix. I loved the lesson and am so looking forward to picking my finished pieces up in a couple of days.
  • 5/5 from Maureen Scott, attended Jun 2022: Good resources and value for money. Teacher was friendly and helpful. Would recommend it to friends
  • 5/5 from Khadeeja Ashraf, attended Jun 2022: I went with my friend and we both enjoyed the class so much! The teacher was lovely and the activity itself was great. I’ve never done acrylic paint pouring before but I will definitely be trying it again. The materials were high quality and I loved that we got to take the pack home with us. Great value for money too, would definitely recommend if you are into creative activities.
  • 5/5 from Kathleen Palin, attended May 2022: Excellent had great information and good fun Trying to book again To all Well worth it
  • 5/5 from Caroline Cannon, attended Jan 2022: The teacher was fantastic excellent session and lots of materials to take home. Great thanks
  • 4/5 from Susan Kitson, attended Jan 2022: Jo was very informative and very helpful she gave us many opportunities to ask questions and was able to give practical answers. I wasn't aware that the piece of art would have to dry so not able to bring home with me. This could be pointed out to future participants. The cost is value for money as the kit has all the items you need to start with.
  • 5/5 from Fiona Lindsay, attended Nov 2021: Jo is a fab teacher. Really fun workshop with great results. All materials supplied and good quality Thank uou
  • 5/5 from Judith Webster, attended Nov 2021: Really enjoyed the workshop with Dawn and was very surprised at how colourful and unusual the finished artwork looked. All the equipment was provided and there is plenty left to try it out at home. I was very lucky in one way that I was the only one enrolled on that course but it was a pity there was no one else there to enjoy it with and compare results. Nevertheless I will be enrolling in another course that has caught my eye. I am looking forward to collecting my "artwork" in a few days when it is dry.
  • 5/5 from Tracey Wilson, attended Oct 2021: Brilliant teacher with lots of experience and therefore lots of useful tips. Had loads of fun creating a beautiful piece of art. Kit was fantastic and had everything I will need for future projects. The class was worth every penny
