FAQs:
Do I need to be artistic or experienced with Gelli printing?
Not at all! This session is beginner-friendly and focused on fun, experimentation, and creative bonding. Leanne will guide you step-by-step.
What age is this suitable for?
Children aged 8–17 will thrive in this session.
Younger children aged 6–7 are welcome with the understanding they may need a little more hands-on support from their grown-up.
Can I bring more than one child?
To ensure everyone gets the most out of the session, this is a one adult per child workshop.
If you’d like to bring another child, they must be accompanied by another paying adult or responsible sibling, and a separate $149 ticket is required.
Can I drop my child off?
This is a shared experience, not a drop-off session. Children must be accompanied by an adult for the entire workshop.
What should we bring?
Nothing at all! All tools and materials are provided, but wear comfy clothes that can handle a little paint.
Will there be photos taken?
We may take photos during the session for promotional use. If you’d prefer not to be photographed, just let us know when you arrive.
Can I get a refund if I can’t make it?
Tickets are non-refundable, but you’re welcome to transfer your booking to another adult/child pair if needed. Please contact us at Olivialeannedaquinoart@gmail.com to arrange.
