Need to know’ info for 168 Days of Magic – 6 month Mindful Creativity Studio Programme
About my Art Studio
My art studio is on our half-acre property in Otaihanga. It comfortably fits 8-12 people, with space for working on creative activities. The property also has a range of other spaces for relaxation, retreat and reflection, including garden spaces and outdoor seating. There’s also our ‘Walnut Grove’ kitchen table for refreshments and chit-chat. The address is 42a Makora Rd, Otaihanga. Come all the way down the drive to find us!
My studio is located behind our cottage (to the right of the main house) and will be open from 12:45pam on workshop days. You can also organise to visit at additional times on request.
Otaihanga
Otaihanga is on the Kāpiti Coast, just north of Paraparaumu on the south bank of the Waikanae River. Its name is Māori for “the place made by the tide”. Some of the stunning natural attractions within a 5-20 minute walking range of the studio include: the Waikanae Estuary Scientific Reserve, Waimanu Lagoon, Waikanae Beach and the Otaihanga Domain.
There is a small amount of parking at the top of my driveway and on the roadside. Alternate parking can be found in the Otaihanga Domain.
Payment
Programme fees must be paid in full before the starting date. If you would like to pay cash, please make a time to come by the studio with your payment in advance of the course starting. I do not accept cheques. If you have not paid your course in full prior to it starting I reserve the right to cancel your enrolment.
Extra Costs
The course cost includes the use of a range of paints, papers and paint brushes for group activities. You can decide how much you want to spend on extra art supplies for your own projects. It’s entirely up to you and you’re welcome to chat to me about what might be the best approach for you.
Refreshments
Afternoon tea is provided on workshop days. A fridge is available in our ‘Walnut’ kitchen to store your any food or drinks you may like to bring with you..
Minimum and maximum numbers
I can also only accommodate a certain number of participants in studio-based programmes. If the course is full, you can contact me at jordan@digitaljazz.co.nz to join the waiting list. I’ll contact you if a place comes up.
Withdrawals and Refunds
If I cancel a course, you receive a full refund. If you cancel your enrolment more than 7 days before the course is due to commence, you’ll get an 80% refund. I keep 20% for administration costs. During the week before the course starts, cancellations qualify for a 50% refund only. No cancellation costs are refunded from when the course or programme begins.
Right to Refuse or Cancel Enrolment
I reserve the right to refuse or to cancel the enrolment of any course participant for any reason at any stage of the course. This is to ensure all participants feel happy, safe, are able to relax in my workshops and enjoy the benefits of the programme they have enrolled in.
