Your mosaic will need time to dry so the workshop will include a grouting demonstration and you will take home a small bag of grout and instructions to finish the mosaic at home.&nbsp;

After a wee break for personal reasons, I'm back on the case with developing this Scotland-wide network.
Since it's estimated that we spend around 70% of our time on admin, I've invited Adrian from ticketing platform Cademy back to share his top tips for setting up a hassle-free workshop booking system, and getting money in straight away (yes please!).
And we'll be asking what your perfect ticketing platform would look like, and what help and support you'd welcome from a Scotland-wide creative workshops network.
Most of all I'm looking forward to meeting as many other workshop providers and hosts from around Scotland as possible!
