Terms + Conditions

As a not-for-private-profit social enterprise, we operate a very lean structure and we order materials for all our classes and courses, in advance, according to how many people book.

Cancelling or postponing your class can have significant impact to us and so we ask you to consider your dates carefully before booking.
We ask you to do the same when requesting a postponement or cancellation.

It is not possible to reschedule a booking once the cancellation and postponement windows have passed and it’s important to read our Terms + Conditions before booking.

Scholarships & Programmes​

When funding is available, we have maker scholarships and enterprise programmes available to help with the costs of training classes.
