Workshop Terms & Conditions

Cancellation

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can occur, and something may happen which prevents you from going ahead with your booking. In these cases we will offer the following:

1 month or more notice given - you can rearrange on a mutually convenient date, or have a full refund.

Less than 1 month notice but more than 24 hours notice given - you can rearrange on a mutually convenient date.

Less than 24 hours notice given - unfortunately you will forfeit your place and we will not offer to rearrange.

If your place has been booked with a gift voucher we will offer the following:

24 hours or more notice given - you can rearrange on a mutually convenient date.

Less than 24 hours notice given - unfortunately you will forfeit your place and we will not offer to rearrange.

Over and above these terms, at our discretion we may offer an exception should you need to cancel your place due to illness. We reserve the right to request medical evidence such as a Doctor’s note.

In the event that we need to cancel a workshop ourselves, for example due to Steve being ill, we will offer you a choice of a refund or an alternative date. If you booked with a Gift Voucher you will receive a voucher credit.  We cannot be held liable for any other costs you may incur as a result of the cancellation (eg accommodation or travel bookings).

Health and Safety

Please note that the very nature of glass fusing means that harmful materials are used. Some of the glass enamels you will be using are classed as toxic, with lead and other heavy metal/oxide content. We provide you with gloves and dust masks to reduce the amount of contact you will have with the materials.

We advise against anyone who is pregnant or breast-feeding attending.

The glass you will be using will already be cut to size for you, but in a glass workshop environment there is always the possibility of getting glass cuts or picking up small glass splinters.

Liability

We will provide a health and safety briefing at the beginning of the workshop. We do have Public Liability insurance but cannot be held responsible for any illness or injury that occurs from not following the health and safety guidance given.

Copyright

Steve is passionate about working with glass enamels and is pleased to offer these workshops to give a great insight into how these materials can be used, and what can be achieved with them. During your workshop Steve may demonstrate how he creates some of his own unique designs and patterns. We would ask you to respect that Steve owns the copyright to these.

If you are an artist yourself, particularly if operating on a commercial basis (ie selling your work), please do not attempt to recreate any of Steve’s products, designs or patterns outside of our workshop.

We do take copying of Steve’s work seriously and if necessary will take formal action to protect our design rights.
