Please read the terms and conditions before booking
Where will the workshops take place?
At the Beth Morris Workshops studio, and sometimes in the beautiful grounds of Insole Court. The children will create together around a large table indoors. If appropriate to the workshop and the the weather is good they will also be outside so please wear appropriate clothes.
My child is attending two workshops on the same day? Can they stay for the 1 hour break in between?
Yes, they can sit in the workspace outside the studio, and in drier weather on the immediate paved /grassed area by the window. The tutor will be setting up for the next session so your child will need to be able to entertain themselves and chat with new friends. We cannot allow children to visit the cafe area if they are left in our care, so please supply a packed lunch.
Is there a discount for siblings?
Of course. If you are booking more than one child in the same household (siblings) onto a course please use the code FAMILY to take 10% off your overall in-person workshop booking. Please don’t use the code unless you are booking for siblings though. This is not a code for parents to book 2 friends on. It’s to support families with more than one child attending 😊
Do I have to adhere to the age guidelines when booking?
Yes please. I have years of teaching experience and I am the Mum of three, so I set the age limits for a reason. The tasks are age appropriate and the children / young people should all feel comfortable with their peers.
My child has additional learning needs - Is the workshop suitable?
Yes, but please give us the heads up so we can support them. We can not offer 1:1 support unfortunately, but if they can work semi-independently with 14 peers, they will love our fun inclusive and relaxed workshops. The tutor will make sure they understand the tasks and support them within the session. On booking, please email info@bethmorrisworkshops.co.uk with any extra information that will help us support your child so we can be fully prepared. You know your child best so please talk to us so we can help.
Does my child need to bring any materials or art supplies?
No, all materials are included in the price of the workshop. Please don’t wear your best clothes!
