Craft classes in Manchester

“I had my daughter’s second birthday here and everything about it was perfect! I also have a 4 year old with Down Syndrome and finding a suitable play area what he can do confidently is very difficult. Baby boom is the only place I feel at ease knowing he can play with his sister and friends safely. 100% would recommend for classes, group play and definitely birthdays!”

“Excellent little place, upstairs is amazing full of recycled crafts, materials, wool you name it you can find it, downstairs new crafts but all very much good price. Its a little gem and glad we found it .”

“Excellent shop! Lots more f craft materials for many crafters and very very well priced”

“I can honestly say this school feels like a second home. From the very first day, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the teachers made it easy to settle in. They really care, not just about grades, but about each student as a person. What I appreciate most is the sense of community – you don’t just come here to learn, you also feel supported, listened to, and encouraged to grow. It’s a place where children can learn home from home. The classrooms are bright and full of energy, and there’s always someone ready to help if you’re struggling. The school brings families together too, with events and activities that make you feel like you belong to something bigger. Whether it’s academics, creativity, or just finding your confidence, this school gives every student the chance to shine. It’s more than just a school – it’s a community. Anna was amazing helping us all the way through. Thank you”

“What a fabulous artist! I took my 82 year old friend for her very first tattoo. She was doing this to raise money for the Royal British Legion Women's Section. Colin decided not to charge her, draw up a tattoo based on her design, constantly put her mind at ease an reassured her, discussing anything to take her mind off the possible pain. My friend said it did not hurt at all. I can't recommend Colin's work enough. A total professional, a fabulous artist and a kind and generous man. He is a credit to his profession and to humanity in general. I am planning on going back and driving more than 1 hour to visit his home and studio.”

“My experience with the Tattoo Piercing Academy, Glasgow Course 2025 was beyond what I expected. Leah made the experience fun, informative, professional and flexible. Having AuDHD would normally cause me to have a harder time learning than some of the students, but she adapted the theory and the practical in a way that helped me understand and I feel so grateful for the intensive course which once completed, made me feel ready to continue my tattoo journey safely and professionally. I made friends for life with other tattooist , which is rare. And appreciate the lifelong support I'll receive from new friends and the Academy. I would add more stars than 5 if I could because they helped me achieve a lifelong dream of becoming a tattoo artist. I will be forever grateful for the determination of the Academy to make sure I got the most out my course. Will definitely book piercing course next. Thanks Leah, you don't realise the impact you have on students and your teaching style was excellent. Thank you, Emma”
