So we both know what to expect!
Let's talk money..
Cost: For 2025, workshops are charged as follows (unless otherwise advertised)
- Block Printing workshops - £45 per person
- Felt garlands/key rings, Stone-painting, Christmas decorations - £30 per person
What's included? The cost includes tuition, use of all materials, paint and blocks , tea/coffee and cake and you will leave with a hand-made work of art!
If you want to upgrade the item to be printed from that which is included (usually a tea-towel, tote bag or drawstring bag) please let me know in advance, and there may be a small surcharge to cover the difference in cost.
Group bookings
The charge for a private block-printing group session of up to 8 persons is £240.
Group charges for other workshops is £160
This is a charge for the group, not a per person cost. If you are sharing the cost across the group, this means that the more who attend, the better value it becomes, and allows me to offer competitive rates.
Group bookings include tuition, materials, use of blocks and paint but do not include venue hire or refreshments, unless agreed otherwise.
Payment: You can pay online using my sum-up store, or make a bank transfer;
account holder - Yvonne Bruton;

OK, let's do this!
Bookings: These can be made via my online store - Von’s Craftery which automatically secures your booking on receipt of payment.
Alternatively you can email or fill in the contact form online, and once I've confirmed availability, paying the deposit by bank transfer secures your place.
Deposit: You can pay in full at the time of booking, or reserve your place with a £10 deposit, with the balance due 48 hours before the workshop.
The deposit is non-refundable, but with enough notice, can be swapped to another date (subject to availability).
Deposit for a group booking is £50
Things happen..
Can't make it? A minimum of 48 hours notice is required for cancellation, otherwise the full fee is payable. This helps myself and the small business owners I work with keep afloat!
Minimum numbers? Please note, if there are too few people booked onto a session at an external venue, I will get in touch with a view to rearranging the session - either on the same date at my studio in Bidford, or with more people on another date.
Anything else?
Dietary or Access issues? Please either email me, or complete the 'message to seller' page when you book to let me know any dietary or accessibility requirements, which I will try my hardest to meet. If I don't hear from you, I will assume that standard dietary and access requirements will suit you.
My studio at home does have a small step, but otherwise is on the ground-floor, so it should suit most abilities. Where I have booked other venues, where possible these will be entirely accessible, or will state clearly if not. If you have any other needs, please let me know and I will try my best to make you feel welcome and fully included. My home studio is sometimes visited by my dog, but not often - if this is going to be an issue, please let me know!
Gift vouchers? Gift vouchers are available either for a full workshop, or amount to spend on workshops or printed items. Please get in touch to order.
Children? Block printing is suitable for all abilities, so I don't have a lower age limit, but would suggest if you want a guide, maybe aged 8 and up?
My standard workshops are not designed as children's workshop, and most participants will be adults but children accompanied by their grown-up are very welcome. I do run some children's workshops, which are intended for children to attend by themselves; I am DBS checked and will always have another responsible adult with me for children's events.
Special Offers? At times I may offer discounts (for local participants, or return bookings) as well as run charity fund-raising events, when the prices may vary. Please keep an eye on my Facebook page for information..
