Bingham FAQs

Please do read this really useful set of information, it covers all manner of things!

Description

What are the costs?
1) Workshop place.
Please book your place on a workshop via our easy to use online booking system. This covers venue hire, insurance, the tutor’s time & previously attained knowledge, as well as tools & equipment, admin costs, and a cuppa.

2) Cost of items.

You will then pay on the day for items made (we have a card machine available for use, and also welcome cash, and bank transfers). This covers the glass used, pays a bit towards the kilns and all associated work such as loading, unloading, drilling, washing & packing.
You can also pre order specific kits from the website (please give at least 3 weeks notice).

Do I need to bring anything?
We do not send tickets, so please keep your confirmation email.
You do not need to bring anything other than closed toe shoes!

Can’t find a date that suits? Got a group and want a private party? Got a large group and a venue? We can manage any number. Email Ali at smartsy@hotmail.co.uk to find out more.

Can I run it myself at a venue? This is something we actively promote, you can see details in our ‘large groups and kits’ section.

Can I just watch?

We have a no spectators policy because we know that young people create amazing glass art without help. Plus every space is needed for a paying customer. We’re really nice, but this is our income after all.

GOT A VOUCHER? Call 07565449695 to redeem. 

Doors open for workshops 10 minutes before your start time, and not before. Even though we are having as lovely time as you, the contact time with customers is a fraction of our job, and we work for hours either side. Please help us by keeping to the workshop times allocated.

Family Friendly sessions or Private Parties are best for young children; young people aged 9 & over are welcome at all sessions.

You do not need to prepare or bring anything – but please feel welcome to look to this website (rather than google) for inspiration, as we know how every piece has been made.

SAFETY

Safety goggles are provided and recommended

Please wear shoes with closed toes if you value your feet.

CANCELLATIONS : message 07565449695

A) If you cancel, sorry, no refund.

B) If we cancel, yes! full refund of course.

C) If you want to transfer to a new date or venue AND are giving at least one month’s notice:

Transfers to a new date within one month of your original date are free of charge but restricted to twice a year.

Please bear in mind….

The attendance fee is our bread and butter. Or fish and chips. Or cream cakes. You get the idea. Basically, if we transfer you, and no one fills your space, our wage for that day is reduced. This is also one of the reasons why we have a ‘no spectators’ policy – every space is needed for a paying customer, this is how we pay our bills.
