Participants are expected to drink responsibly. If behaviour becomes disruptive due to alcohol, the workshop may be terminated at the facilitator’s discretion without refund.

All necessary materials are provided unless otherwise agreed upon in advance.
Participants are encouraged to wear clothing that can handle a bit of charcoal dust and paint—we embrace the messiness of creativity!

8. Liability
