most artistic of people but Kerry made the session very accessible,
with clear explanations about all the tools and techniques. By the end
I was feeling very confident and artistic!””

I’ve booked a session but I Cannot Attend, Can I get a Refund?
Ideally I would like to reschedule the session however I understand sometimes this is not possible so
If more than two weeks notice is given then a refund is possible minus the transaction fee I’ve had to pay, this is usually 2.50%
If 7 to 14 days notice then 50% refund will be given, as I need to cover materials and time spent on preparing for the session
If less than a weeks notice given then unfortunately I cannot offer a refund. Rescheduling the session would be the best solution
