Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, workshops with 800 degrees glass will be postponed until further notice.

All registrants have been informed and we are working closely to fine a new time and venue. If you wish to register for either workshops, as there will be two postponed until later in the year or when this pandemic is 'over', you can still do so although dates will have changed from original dates specified here.

Thank you everyone who have registered and for the support and patience at this historical time in NZ history!
