Enjoyed the class and want to continue at home?
A tools and materials comprehensive guide will be sent after the class via email with links on how to get set up with affordable options.
In the future I'll be hosting specific creation classes such as 3D plants, tealight holders and trinket boxes!
So if you enjoyed the taster class and want to learn more, keep an eye out on upcoming classes!
Additional notes:
Please wear clothes you are comfortable crafting in and potentially getting dirty. Alongside closed toe shoes.
Please bring a hair bobble if it's long.
Gloves + safety glasses will be provided, if you already wear glasses it's not required to use them.
