Do drop us a message if you are coming so we know to expect you!We do not recommend to varnish them earlier than the recommended drying times as the varnish will stop the air to cure the paint and the art can get damaged and also do not use the coasters and trays without heat resistant varnishes as it will again, damage the art.Please note even after varnishing the coasters will not be dishwasher safe nor fully waterproof (do not immerse in water!) therefore only damp cloth is recommended to clean, also please do not plece anything very heavy on the bamboo trays or they night break. Please get in touch if you require a heavy duty tray and we advise you for the extra costs and get one for you (they cost normally an extra &pound;15/20, so we don&#39;t use them in sessions to keep the costs affordable.)If you decide them to varnish them yourself, please make sure to leave enough drying time for the coasters after varnishing, before placing and hot or cold drinks in or the artwork might gets damaged.Anna is using a special fast drying spray varnish, but for the heat resistant liquid varnishes available, It is recommended to apply three coats with approximately 5 hours drying times between layers.This relaxing creative workshop is perfect to join on a regular basis, please see bundles to book in 2 or more sessions.Are you organising a birthday, hen party or team social?Book a private session with Anna tailored to your requirements ! 5people minimum for private booking, sharing options with bottomless prosecco available, email anna@annakosa.com for details!5%discount pp/5people 10% discount pp/10people 15% discount pp/15people 20% discount pp/20 peopleWe look forward to hearing from you.</div>
