You will need
This workshop is for children aged 5-16 and their parent or guardian; parents and guardians must stay with their child at all times.
Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy and/or wear an apron as inks can stain. We advise removing any jewellery, and tying back long hair.
Additional information
All materials and equipment for the session will be provided.
If your child is confident working independently, you can make your own creation by purchasing additional materials as a £12 add-on.
