COVID-19 update
We are open! And we will be taking precautionary measures for as long as we need to.
Everything is disinfected after each workshop and masks will be worn at all times by anyone teaching a workshop, although we won’t require our customers to wear them. We will still be taking up to four people per workshop but everyone must be from the same family bubble, so even if only one person books, all other bookings for that workshop will be closed. We hope to see you soon for this super popular workshop.
