Pottery participants will need to wait 6 to 8 weeks for their pieces to be fired and glazed before pickup at the Makati studio or delivery (shipping fees not included). Rug tufting participants, however, can bring their finished rugs home the same day after completing the finishing process.
Booking Details
Workshops are strictly scheduled and non-refundable due to limited slots and allocated resources. Interested participants are advised to secure their spots early and leave their Instagram handle upon booking for coordination. You can book your chosen workshop at Bumi & Ashe’s website.
