Workshop FAQ
I am a complete beginner - are your classes suitable?
All of my classes are suitable for those with no experience of silver smithing before (unless otherwise stated). Please don't be put off if you are a complete beginner - the vast majority of people who attend my classes are!
Class sizes are deliberately kept small so 1:1 assistance is available throughout.
-
Where is the class located?
The class is held in my studio space in Croft Myl just out of the centre of Halifax. There is a car park available at the back of the building for attendees of my class. The mill is also a short walk from Halifax bus or train station.

What is your refund policy if I can't make a class I have booked?
All bookings are final and non refundable unless cancelled by Hello Halfpenny. You may be able to transfer to another class at my discretion with advance notice.
-
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Glasses if you usually wear them for reading. Otherwise everything else you need for the class is included in the price, including refreshments. Please see below requirements for safety in the workshop.
Something to tie your hair up with if it is past shoulder length. Please wear suitable clothing that you don't mind getting dirty and closed toe shoes.

Can I book a private class for a group of friends?
Absolutely! If you have a group of 4-6 people and would like to come for a private class just drop me a message to discuss. Alternatively if you have a larger group and a space of your own with tables and chairs I can come to you.
