Pricing

• Our Open Studio Wednesday Evening and Sunday half day Sessions cost £20 for a three hour session. If that does not feel manageable for you we also run on a three-tiered community pricing system: £7, £15 and £20. Our pricing is run on an honesty policy, so please be true to your financial situation when booking in. If you purchase a space at tier 1 pricing when you can afford tier 3 pricing it can affect our ability to offer flexible pricing.

  Tier 2: £15 - Use the code TIERTWO at checkout

If you book in for a session but can no longer attend, please let us know via lydia@mademywardrobe.com and we can open up your slot for someone else to book in. Unfortunately we can not offer refunds or swap dates on Open Studio sessions as it affects our capacity to offer community pricing.
