The part of the deck most people quietly skip. We spend the morning on what a court card is structurally and the afternoon reading them as situations, attitudes and timings rather than as a queue of relatives.
Four different systems for reading reversed cards, tried in turn on the same spread, so you can see how much of the meaning comes from the method rather than the card. Most people leave having chosen one and dropped the rest.
For festivals, markets and events. Short-form readings, a queue, no table to speak of, and someone's friend filming over your shoulder. Practical, slightly exhausting, and the workshop that books out fastest.
Not taught. Twelve chairs, a tutor in the room, and people reading for each other in rotation. Anyone who has done any course with us, plus anyone who writes first and says what they read.
The studio is on the first floor of a building on Candlemaker Row with no lift, which we would rather state on this page than in a footnote at the point of booking. If stairs are a problem, the same workshops run twice a year in an accessible room at a venue five minutes away — write and we will tell you when the next one is.
Workshop dates for the coming term go out in the studio letter first and are added to this page a week later. There is no rolling calendar because we schedule around the taught courses and the dates genuinely are not fixed a year ahead.
Say so and we will put you on the list for the next running. Places return more often than you would think — roughly one in ten is given up in the fortnight before, and they go to the list in order.
