At various times during the year we tidy up our studio and throw open the doors to small groups of students. Each class revolves around making a specific piece designed to cover various aspects of our techniques.
Students learn how to adapt the techniques to their own projects, as well as taking home a genuine and finished Mulvany &Rogers design.
The classes are open to all ability levels and our aim is to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable and challenging time. We are very hands on and are only too happy to help you out of a sticky mess or re-cut bits that are a bit wobbly.
 
Currently we are running four courses which are described below.
We also have plans for two new ones which will be posted on the site when they are ready.
