Below are our terms and conditions. We also like to summarize the main points for you in human language:

Free cancellation of your reservation is possible up to 2 days in advance. For example, if you have a reservation on Wednesday, we need to know no later than Monday.

If something serious happens in your private life within 24 hours or you are simply ill, we fully understand and can reschedule your reservation for a new date. Refunds are no longer possible because our teachers cannot be cancelled on such short notice.

We may reject complex designs if we see that it is not feasible for a beginner. You may, of course, choose something else.

Participation in our workshops is at your own responsibility and risk. By using tools such as a tufting machine, there is the possibility of injuring body parts, so caution is required as well as listening to the safety advice of our instructors.
