After the success of the launch of our Zoom workshops in 2020, we’re excited to bring you a selection of courses to take you into 2021!
Whilst we’d love to see you in person again soon (and when the time comes when we can run live events and courses again, we’ll be straight in there), we’ve absolutely loved being able to meet even more of you through the online workshops we’ve run so far! We’ll therefore be continuing to develop this strand of our work when things (eventually) return to ‘normal’ and we’re really pleased that this means we can reach more of you from London and beyond, whilst keeping our prices accessible without the costs associated with space hire.
We hope too see as many of you at our online workshops as possible and will be adding more listings to this page as we go along, so keep checking!
Don’t forget – Members pay at least 20% less so if you’re not signed up yet, join here!
