I'm a mother of young children. Can I take them with me to the workshop?

As a mother myself, I feel you and understood that sometimes it can be challenging to work away from your baby or young children especially for a couple days. You are welcome to take your child with you, but we don't provide a person-in-charge specifically for this matter.

Can I get a discount?

At the moment we don't give any discount. All our prices have been carefully calculated not simply by the cost of materials but also the meaning and values of the process and practice we have taken to be able to design, organize and present our heartwork for you.
