Recent reviews of Paint Your Pet Workshop

  • 5/5 from Leah Simmons, attended Oct 2026: I had such a great time at the Paint Your Pet workshop. Helen is a fabulous teacher, demonstrating everything before walking around the class to ensure we all understood, as well as giving helpful advice on colour and helping with any tricky markings on our pets. I was blown away by the outcome of all the different painting - we all nailed it! I’ve come away with some new skills that I am already using on my own paintings. The upstairs creative space at House of Handmade was the perfect size for us to work on our creations, and I had a great time exploring the shop after the class. I’ll be back for more workshops.
