Workshop Terms & Conditions

These terms and conditions protect us both, I hope you understand, in this litigious time we find ourselves in, that the following is both necessary and unnecessary given that I have never, in fifteen years of teaching, had to enforce nor do I expect to enforce, any of these conditions as I find all my ‘friends’ a pleasure to be and work with.

1. Workshops include all materials to make the item specified in the literature for the advertised workshop.

   30 days before the workshop = 75% refund of the full fee
   Less than 30 days before the workshop = you can send someone in your place, or I may have a waiting list and can re fill the place, however if both options are unsuccessful you will receive only 50% refund. I require the full name and contact details of the person who is replacing you.
