Fancy learning to print?
Or giving a print class as a gift?

It’s so easy. Just email Simone and you can arrange a Gift Voucher for yourself, a friend/family member or your Special Someone in no time at all. (The perfect last moment gift!)

• Gift vouchers can be posted or emailed at short notice, whichever method best suits your gift and your timeframe. (And last minute gifts are no problem!)

• The vouchers are for workshops (usually $220), casual classes ($60 per 3 hour session), 10 visit passes for casual classes ($550) … or any other amount that suits your budget :)

• The vouchers are valid for 18 months and are flexible. For example, a $300 voucher could be used for a workshop, some printmaking materials and a casual class. (Also, a $60 voucher can be used as a part payment towards a full day workshop.)

• A full day workshop is a great way to start out printmaking - over the course of a day, your Special Someone will get the feel for an entire process. If there is not already a workshop planned in the process they want - see Forthcoming Workshops here - they can select an available date that suits and Simone will start a workshop especially for them. The workshop always goes ahead, regardless of numbers. (Usual workshop numbers vary from 1 to 6 participants, depending on the process.)

• Places in casual classes are reserved on a “first in, best dressed” basis, so best to book well in advance. For more information about casual classes please click here.

• Because the casual classes can book out (some weeks have a waitlist), people often like to start with a full day workshop, followed by the occasional casual class, or even different workshops in other processes. There are so many ways to print!

• One-on-one print/mentoring sessions also available.

So, if you email Simone the following details:

• Your name and contact details,

• The name of the person you are giving the voucher to, and

• The amount of the voucher (as well as whether you’d like the amount written on the front of the voucher, or not)
  

… She can email you a personalised gift voucher in under 24 hours. Perfect for last moment gifts!
