Cancellations
Unfortunately I can’t issue a refund or transfer you to another class should you have to cancel or cannot attend one of your sessions. As a small business the loss of income and additional work involved have too great an impact. Thank you for your understanding.
What previous workshop participants have said:
“I attended this workshop with a friend and we really enjoyed it. Sally was helpful and patient and the workshop and advice enabled me to order my own linocutting tools and start creating at home. Highly recommend!”
“Sally is a fantastic teacher, clear with her instructions and fantastically supportive when you feel like you need someone to hold your hand!”
“The workshop really has given me more confidence, and I’m excited for more printmaking!”
