This from my mate Saskia who is running the courses:
LFS Workshops are a range of new short and part-time courses, with the emphasis on a totally hands-on, intensive learning experience. All courses are led by leading practitioners and offer an opportunity to study at a high professional level, right in the centre of London. The following new workshops are now open for bookings. Places are limited to ensure personal attention, so early booking is advised. To book or to register to receive details of future workshops email s.vanroomen@lfs.org.uk.
