CHOOSE A WORKSHOP
The content of every workshop I run is based on your requests for the skills you want to learn, the things you want to make and the problems you want to solve. Workshops are all hands-on, not much theory and definitely no exams!
All my workshops are small groups so I can give you individualised attention.
