All weekly classes must be booked at least one week in advance so there is time for me to prepare your loom prior to the next workshop.

A limited quantity of annual studio passes are available to purchase. If you would like to continue with your weaving practice and visit the studio on a weekly basis (during academic term time only 39 weeks per year).

Cancellation policy

All courses must be paid for in advance prior to attendance, or the course place will not be confirmed. Payment is preferred online via the website at the time of booking. We can invoice organisations in circumstances where purchase orders are required. Payment terms on invoices raised will be for immediate payment.

Due to the fact we are only a small business it is necessary for us to have a strict cancellation policy in place.

If you need to cancel your booking you can do this up to 14 days before the start date. We will either transfer your booking to another workshop or we can offer you a refund minus 25% for an administration fee.

If your cancellation is within 14 days of the start of your workshop I’m afraid we are unable to offer a refund or date transfer.
