How can we help?
Q: What happens after I sign up?
Once your chosen time slot hits 3 sign-ups, we will email you directly with the confirmed schedule.
Q: What if my preferred time slot doesn't fill up?
We'll let you know, and you're welcome to switch to a different slot or starting date that does or receive a full refund — no pressure either way. Alternatively, you could make multiple bookings with all starting dates that work for you.
Q: What art experience do I need to join this course?
None at all. This is an all level course — the small group setting will allow the teaching to adapt to individual pace and skills. As a general start, we will work from the very basics of holding the brush and controlling ink and water.
Q: Do you offer corporate version or private lesson for this course?
Yes, private lessons and in-venue tutoring can be arranged with a surcharge.
Q: Can I do this fortnightly instead of weekly?
This course currently runs weekly. If you'd only be able to join on a fortnightly basis, email me instead — we're gauging interest, and may run a fortnightly cohort in future if there's enough demand.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: No cancellations, but free to reschedule up until 5 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 8 x 1.5 hours, £350 per guest (£30 per class surcharge applies for private classes)
