Where should a first-time student start?

Read the selected introductory class description and age requirements. Regular classes are designed for ages 16 and up; children’s sessions have separate limits. Confirm the course, available date and any prerequisite rather than assuming every session welcomes the same participants.

When is the continuing guild appropriate?

Guild membership is a route for previous students. The profile describes introductory and two intermediate classes as prerequisites, one shop day a month and annual payment. Ask about the schedule and budget for materials and personal protective equipment separately.

What should I confirm before a group booking?

The group page describes six to ten people for hands-on bookings; children’s hands-on groups are limited to eight. Discuss the intended participants, accessibility and quote directly. Classes are non-refundable, and rescheduling or credit depends on the notice and terms; review those rules before booking.
