FAQ
How messy will I get? Not very. Just finger tips generally but there are gloves and wet wipes for you to use. And ink washes off skin easily with water.
What should I bring? Ideas! Having already thought about some ideas for your design gives you a great head-start on the evening. And and something for transporting them home (see below)
How long do they take to dry? A few hours - so bringing a box or tray to take them home on would be useful.
Can my Child do this? Yes and no. This time at The Mandarin Tree it's 18+ however at other times I do welcome children with an adult participant. It's best suited to 10+ as the tools are sharp and patience is required. My enthusiastic 7 year old launched in on her own to make the blue star above so it's your call on the suitability for your own child. There isn't a child rate.
How do I book? Please keep an eye out here and on my socials for the next workshop opportunity and who to book through. Or inquire below for another date or private group booking at my studio or Waikato Society of Arts in 2026.
