2024 WORKSHOP PROGRAMME

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS & ACTIVITIES

Each year we run a series of workshops that are open to members of the group. Most of these require booking in advance and have extra costs associated to cover things such as tutors and materials. Participation in workshops is optional. If you’re interested in taking part in any of these please speak to Jenny R at the next meeting. (Non members can book places through Facebook/Eventbrite. Workshops are added to Facebook/Eventbrite during the year as details and publicity are confirmed)
