What do I need to bring?

All tools and materials are included in the cost, so all you need to bring is enthusiasm. Please wear work clothes and closed toe shoes, PPE is provided.

I ask that you design your panel before the day of the workshop as time is always tight, I am more than happy to help with the designs prior to the workshop.

Hot and cold drinks are provided along with a lunch on the last day from the onsite Cafe.
