Workshops in August

Here they are - the eagerly anticipated schedule of workshops for August!

We have had SUCH a busy month here at The Make Cafe. Our children's workshops were a blast - for teachers and pupils alike! And we've been working like busy little bees behind the scenes to come up with new classes to add to our usual repertoire!

Seen a class you'd like to attend but can't make the date? We can put a private class on for you, providing you have a group of four or more people and the appropriate tutor is available on the date you specify. Just drop us a line to info@themakecafe.co.nz.
