📢 Important Announcement from Taff Rocks! 🎨
We’ve been reviewing our payment structure, and thanks to additional funding, we’re excited to announce that we’ve invested in a brand-new EPOS system! This will make booking and payments much easier for everyone.

As part of these changes, here’s what you can expect moving forward:
🎨 Freestyle Workshops
- The artwork for each freestyle workshop will now be chosen using our Spin the Wheel!
- The wheel will be spun in advance, giving everyone plenty of notice about what media / activity will be available.
- That artwork will be the featured project for that session.
- Our booking system will remain in place so you can reserve your spot.
- No upfront payment is required for our generic freestyle workshops – simply pay when you arrive.
- We’ll also continue to welcome walk-ins, subject to availability.

✨ Special Themed Workshops
We’ll still be running our popular themed workshops throughout the year. If these include specialist activities such as mould making, mandala art, or neurographics, payment will be required in advance due to the materials involved.

You’ll be able to pay either:
-Through Eventbrite, or
- Via a secure payment link sent directly by Taff Rocks.

We’re really looking forward to introducing these improvements and continuing to provide fun, creative workshops for everyone. Thank you for your ongoing support—we can't wait to create with you! 💙
