How We Use Your Information

We use your information to deliver our creative workshops and provide you with stress-relief through artistic exploration. Your personal data enables us to register you for pottery classes, watercolour sessions, collage workshops, and other community art activities across Irish centres and libraries.

Your information helps us personalize your experience, communicate important updates about upcoming workshops, and understand which artistic mediums—watercolour, pottery, or collage—might resonate most with your personal reflection and creative growth. We use your feedback to improve our services and develop new workshops that better serve your creative needs.

Your Privacy Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time. If you wish to update your details or withdraw from our workshops, please contact us with your request. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your inquiry.

You also have the right to opt out of marketing communications while remaining registered for our workshop services. We respect your choices regarding how your information is used for promotional purposes related to new artistic sessions or community art activities.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience on our website. These cookies help us remember your preferences, understand which workshops interest you most, and track which artistic mediums you explore through our pages—whether that’s watercolour techniques, pottery processes, or collage methods.

You can manage cookie settings through your browser. If you disable cookies, you may still access our website and register for workshops, though some features may function less optimally. We do not use cookies for invasive tracking or sell your data to third parties.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, and disclosure. Your data is encrypted during transmission and stored securely on our servers.

While we take extensive precautions, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and contact us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.

Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share limited information with workshop partners and community art centres in Ireland only as necessary to facilitate your participation in sessions you’ve registered for.

We may disclose your information if required by law or if we believe such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect the rights and safety of our community members.
