TOM
from
SPLODGE AWAY
As so
many of you like the format of Jo Channon’s visit we have now persuaded Tom to
do a morning demonstration and those who want to learn more in depth techniques
still have the opportunity to book onto the Masterclass in the afternoon.
As there
will only be 12 places available for the Masterclass, and they are already
filling, please book your place as soon as possible.
Free Demo – 10:00am – 12:00am
Masterclass -
1:00pm – 3:00pm - £20.00 payable in full on booking
Tom will
not be at the Hobbycrafts show at the N.E.C so this is your chance to not only
buy the products but also to have instruction from the Inventor.
Please
ask in store for details.
