How do I book a Sip & Paint?+
Dates and group options live on the Sip & Paint page. Send a note with your preferred date and group size, and Melinda will reply with availability.
Can I enquire about a speaking engagement?+
Absolutely. The Speaking page outlines formats and topics — a short message about your audience and event is the easiest starting point.
Can I visit the studio?+
Studio visits are welcomed by appointment. A note with a few date options is the best way to arrange one.
How long does a reply take?+
Most enquiries receive a personal reply within two to four working days. Occasionally, during workshops or exhibitions, it may take a little longer — your patience is appreciated.
