Jack was my 'teacher' and he was great but as a person not as a teacher and I lay all the blame for this at Hobbycrafts door.
Hobbycraft recommend the fluid art class for and I quote -
'Whether you’re looking to brush up on your skills or you’re completely new to Fluid Art, this is a great way to learn simple techniques'.
The workshop will involve ring pouring and flip cup pouring, showing you different ways to pour your paint to achieve two beautiful results.

The Hobbycraft Artisan will take you through each step of the pouring process, guiding you with tips and tricks along the way'.

I am no expert at fluid art and was looking for guidance and as Hobbycraft suggests, 'it is to brush up on my skills'. Jack had only tried fluid art at home and was no more advanced then myself, so if you have never attempted this art then it's a good place to start but if you're on the same level as me then don't waste your money, I didn't need the craft box ( paints, canvas etc) as I have all these already, but was willing to pay the £40 for advice.

I had a rewarding time with Jack who is an asset to Hobbycraft but if Hobbycraft are going to promote these classes then they need to provide a member of their 'artisan staff' who has experience and more knowledge then the pupil.

Hobbycraft need to rewrite the description of the class because in my view it is false advertising.

Janine our teacher was excellent, she has a lovely warm manner which put me at ease and Janine encouraged us with praise.

The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the location of the class, I would have preferred it if we were sitting in a more secluded spot rather than in the middle of the shop floor.

I was pleased with the Hobbycraft workshop box containing everything I need so I can carry on practicing at home.

The time went so quick, which is a good sign of a good class.

I would recommend the brush lettering course .
