Apprehensive about what’s in store, and hoping that you won’t let yourself down in terms of your ability or, in my case, somewhat limited talent, I assure you that you will not be prepared for this duo’s brilliance, patience and expert guidance.

You will leave the place utterly inspired and so delighted with your unique piece of work and the magical day you’ve just had, that you will want to return, as soon as you can, to do it all again!
