These events can be booked in our studio, at one of our partner venues (Pubs, Restaurants or Wineries) or we can bring the event to your venue. Our fundraiser events are done by picking a craft and we raise our base price by $5-$20/pp (depending on the craft) to help raise funds for your goal. All the craft registrations and payments would go through our system so all you need to do is advertise. Our schedule books up quickly so we usually need at least 30 to 60 days notice to book an event date. A new fundraiser option that we have is craft kit sales which could work similar to your typical fundraisers. You are provided with order forms with a selection of our craft kits on them and 20% of the sales would go towards your fundraiser. You do not need to collect payments; we would have people pay for their orders on the pick up date. We would set an order pick up date 2 weeks after your fundraiser end date and we could either have all orders picked up from your venue or at our studio; either way we help with this order pick up day to make sure it all runs smoothly 😉 Contact us for more details
