1. General Terms and Conditions

  • Workshop numbers are kept small to maximise my attention with you while you are learning new processes and techniques. There is a maximum and minimum number of students per class. Book early to secure your place. If the minimum number of students is not achieved within 1 week of the workshop date, the workshop may be cancelled.
  • During all workshops I will request permission to take photographs of classes for use in my website and social media for promotional purposes. If you do not wish to be photographed, that’s no problem at all, please let me know at the time.
  • An email is sent to workshop participants 1-2 weeks before each workshop date. That email confirms workshop date and time and The Studio address. The email also includes a link to specific information important to that workshop. It will be assumed that the student has read that email prior to workshop attendance, and contacted Kim Herringe if anything is unclear regarding inclusions and expectations.

 

2. Workshop Confirmation and Payment

  • You will be emailed an invoice within 1-2 days of sending your Booking Enquiry
  • Full payment is required to secure your booking.
  • Payment can be made via PayPal or direct deposit.

If the credit is not used within 12 months, it is forfeited.
  • *If a workshop was paid via PayPal, the PayPal transaction fee is non-refundable.
