  • 5/5 from Vimal Patel, attended Jan 2026: We had fun learning at this workshop and Vicky from Hobbycraft was very knowledgeable and gave lots of hints and tips. We thoroughly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in creating unique designs which will brighten up many walls of your house!
  • 5/5 from Karen, attended Nov 2024: Attended the Acrylic paint pouring workshop with my friend for her birthday treat. We both had a lovely time trying out 2 pouring techniques on 2 coasters demoed by our friendly, helpful teacher Anthony. It was great to see the variety of patterns produced depending on the colours we all chose. It was a good introduction and we have more paints, tools and coasters as part of the kit provided to try out at home in our own time. I feel there's a lot more to learn to get the best from this art form but it was a great start, especially with 20% off the workshop!
  • 5/5 from Jayne Woollatt, attended Oct 2024: Very much enjoyed the course and I made some nice pieces! Would recommend as an introduction to pouring art.
  • 5/5 from Caroline Conway, attended Apr 2024: Really enjoyed ourselves. Very reasonable considering we get a paint kit to take home. Learnt a couple of techniques.

  • 5/5 from Joan Viall, attended Jan 2023: Fabulous session with Sioux who guided me through different acrylic pour techniques. She had set everything up for me so we could start straight away. The course ran even though I was the only one. Will be picking up my three canvases in a couple of days. Great session - highly recommend it
  • 4/5 from Carol Trinder, attended Aug 2022: Great teacher, good venue, good value for money, learnt 2 pouring techniques and use of silicon. My favourite was my beach scene.
  • 5/5 from Lydia Snawdon, attended Jul 2022: It was great loved every min of it. Teacher very helpful the hour flew by
  • 5/5 from Bernadette Ratnayake, attended Jul 2022: Sue the teacher was great I really enjoyed my first experience could have done with an extra 1/2 hour.
  • 5/5 from Ann Smith, attended Jun 2022: Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. It was great fun and we learned different techniques in paint pouring. We painted 3 canvases and went home with two blank canvases and lots of paint to try at home. Would definitely recommend this workshop.
  • 5/5 from Clare Rose, attended May 2022: Great workshop with Sioux. Have fancied having a go at paint pouring for ages and so this was a great way to try it with some tuition from someone who has some experience. Good value and a large craft kit with enough left to do more at home.
  • 3/5 from Isobel Gould, attended May 2022: Lovely lady demonstrating acrylic pouring but all paints were ready mixed and I wanted to know more about the art of mixing with pouring mediums and the “ science “ behind creating different effects
  • 5/5 from Andrea Hill, attended Mar 2022: Sioux was a lovely teacher. The room was not huge and as this was a messy subject it was just as well I was the only "student" on this occasion. Thoroughly enjoyed the class, will be intrigued to collect the finished (dry) artworks in a few days. Very good box of art materials to bring home. Will need to rearrange/enlarge my home work space to really immerse myself in this subject. Thanks, Hobbycraft.
  • 5/5 from Ticia Bastable, attended Feb 2022: I had such a good time. I created 3 pieces during the workshop and watched Sioux, the trainer, demonstrate different techniques for me to follow. It was great fun and informative. All the products were provided and I've still got some left to play with at home. I would definetly reccomend this workshop to others.
  • 5/5 from Lorraine Sweetman, attended Nov 2021: Loved it, such fun. Very relaxing and easy-going. I was put at ease immediately, having no prior knowledge it was easy to pick up. Highly recommended.
