​

All our classes are professionally run and most involve hot work – butane or propane torches – chemicals and/or acids, spinning equipment and heavy tools. Students must come dressed appropriately for this environment. Closed in shoes, NO SANDALS, FLIP FLOPS ETC are allowed in the studio. Floaty, flammable fabrics should not be worn, dangling sleeves, scarves etc. are also a hazard. Aprons will be provided on the day to protect your clothes but it is prudent to wear clothes you are not worried about getting dirty. 

Some activities require you to wear protective goggles and/or masks. All health and safety rules must be observed at all times. If you arrive at the studio wearing inappropriate clothes or open shoes/sandals you will not be allowed to participate in activities involving hot work, chemicals or heavy tools. This is for your safety so please ensure you have a professional approach when you attend our classes. 

​

We strongly suggest you take out travel insurance and check if this covers the class costs should you have to cancel. 

​

If we have to cancel a class or course 

On a rare event we may have to cancel a course. You will always be offered the choice of an alternative date or a refund. We will give you as much notice as possible, however, we cannot be held responsible for your travel or accommodation costs. Please insure that if you need travel and accommodation to attend a course or workshop at the studio that you take out insurance and flexible booking in the unlikely event that the class needs to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

When you book a place, you are agreeing to the above terms and conditions. 

​

Once a class, course or product is sold out, the coupon can no longer be used for that item. Full payment is required at the point of booking. Once a discounted class or course has been booked and paid for, it is subject to our standard cancellation policy.
