Participation with Pets
Pets are welcome, as long as you notify us in advance when booking.
Please note that the workshop is a working artisan space where marble, glass, and smalti are used daily: there may be small fragments, loose tesserae or dust on the floor, and other participants — including children — may be present.
We rely on the owner's sense of responsibility to assess whether their pet is comfortable and safe in such an environment and able to stay throughout the activity.
