The workshop timetable is suspended for the next few months due to the threat posed by the Coronavirus. Once we can be reassured that things are safe for small groups of people to be together, I will reinstate the programme with new dates. Sincere apologies but it’s the responsible thing to do.
These workshops are usually held at the weekends- Saturday/Sunday(occasionally Fridays) at my studio in Harrogate. If you have a small group of friends that would enjoy a particular class on another date, I am happy to look at arranging this with you. Just get in touch for a chat about your requirements. Thank you.
