Need to know before you attend Marco Frisoni Painting Workshop

I will make a WhatsApp group for the class MAKE SURE I HAVE YOUR MOBILE NUMBER IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS.

This venue is remote but only 5 minutes from the World Heritage Site of Stonehenge so a car is recommended, if you don’t have a car, then transfers are available from the Airport/ Train stations at additional cost a Taxi from the station to our venue is around £30 so do let me know as we can offer it much cheaper than that. Closer to the time I will get a WhatsApp group set up so you can make any joint arrangements/ get involved in the hype 😊
