Short courses

Gillian runs one and two day courses in her home studio throughout the year.
All courses run from 10am-4pm and, unless specified, all materials are included.
The studio and facilities are reasonably disabled-friendly, but please let me know in advance due to space issues.
On-site parking is available and, with a bit of effort, there is a bus service from both Glasgow and Stirling.
