We can also run any of these workshops at other locations around the UK for private groups. We have a minimum group size of 4 in York and 6 in Yorkshire; email us for other areas. We can work with hen parties, birthday parties, baby showers, corporates (team building workshops or event drop in stations), clubs or anybody interested in a craft party.
