Bring the kids
Most of our students
are under twelve.
We run the bench all week, but Saturday morning belongs to the kids.
Drop-in fees are intentionally low because the workshops exist for the same reason the studio does: someone has to teach the next pair of hands.
Private bookings
Bring the whole group.
Any of our workshops can be booked privately for groups of 4 to 14. Birthday parties, bridal showers, team off-sites, anniversary afternoons. We host at the studio or come to your space.
