Cancellation Policy: We understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, leading to the need for cancellation. However, due to travel arrangements from interstate, we kindly request a minimum of 7 DAYS notice for cancellations. This allows us to attempt to fill your reserved spot or accommodate any changes effectively. Alternatively, you are welcome to send a replacement attendee in your place.

For participants who have purchased kits, arrangements can be made to have them mailed to you upon cancellation. Please note that rescheduling of the workshop in Melbourne will not be possible in 2024.

Regrettably, failure to provide notice within the stipulated timeframe or non-attendance on the day of the class will result in forfeiture of the entire class fee. This policy is in place to account for the costs incurred in travel arrangements and the inability to fill the vacant spot at short notice.

In the event that we need to cancel or reschedule a workshop, every effort will be made to notify you promptly. If rescheduling is not feasible or if you prefer not to reschedule, a full refund of the class fee will be provided. We strive to provide more than 48 hours notice for any cancellations or changes.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation regarding our cancellation policy. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
