    We are still be taking up to four people per workshop but everyone must be from the same family bubble, so even if only one person books, all other bookings for that workshop will be closed. So please, if you want to book a workshop but you can see a space or two is already taken, please book for another day. We hope to see you soon for this super popular workshop. This workshop runs with a maximum of four participants.

    Dress Code

    Although polishing opal is a very safe pastime, it does involve fast spinning abrasive discs so loose clothing should be avoided and long hair tied back.
