You can bring food back to eat in the craft room should you wish. The lunch break will be around 45 minutes, which also allows you time to browse the shop, where you will get 10% discount. We will provide tea, coffee, and biscuits.
Please either bring your outfit to the workshop, or post swatches of the colours at least a week before the workshop date (eg cut from paint charts rather than sending images, as the colour may be altered on photographs). We will do our best to find suitable colours to work with your outfit, but please be aware that these may not be an exact match.

Unfortunately, our training area is upstairs and there is no lift. There are also step into and inside the shop, and narrow areas. If you can manage of of this independently, you will be fine.
