Workshops
You can check here for workshop updates, however, if you would like to be the first to know about future workshops please go on my mailing list
For all workshops, payment is taken in full up front. A refund or transfer to another course is possible if you cancel more than a week before, otherwise no refund will be given as it will be very difficult to fill your place.
I also do private workshops.
If you have a group and you would like me to run a workshop for you, I can be hired using your own venue or one of the ones I hire myself.
