UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

 

Club nights are every other Friday, 6-9pm. Most evenings include a workshop (starting at 6.30pm) or a 'drop in' session (starting at 6.15pm).

You must be a member to book onto workshops. This costs only £5 for the calendar year, payable at your first evening, and includes your first entry fee (£3). CASH ONLY.

 

Workshops are always booked in person at club nights, and places are subject to availability. They can be booked in advance but there is a limit to one booking per evening, unless there are spaces on that evening’s workshop. CASH ONLY. 

 

NOTE: All bookings are non-transferrable and also non-refundable, unless you notify us in advance through the website and a replacement can be found. Refunds must be claimed on either of the next two sessions.

If you aren't booked on a workshop you are still very welcome to join us on a Friday night! There is access to our massive range of art and craft materials or you can bring your own projects to work on.
