Custom Workshops are designed to your skill level.  You may need a refresher as you have purchased a new machine or you may need some one-on-one tuition as you are struggling at school, Uni or Tafe.  These workshops are designed for you and by you, allowing you to learn only the aspects you are needing and wanting to learn.

Other custom workshops include birthday parties, baby showers and kitchen tea.  Please call to enquire as these are custom designed around your needs.
