Workshop pricing options
Each workshop is always slightly different, so all of my workshops are customised and quoted for accordingly.
What I include in my quotes are:
My travel and prep time for the workshop
Any fees, materials or purchases required to fulfil the workshop
My labour and time running the workshop
As a rough guideline, for a two-hour workshop, expect a guesstimated starting price from $550 onwards. I’ll send you the invoice as soon as you book and payment is required before the workshop is held.
