The Classes at SENZ this year are going to be great! There will be around 45 of them to choose from and they will include a mix of stamping, scrapbooking, mini books, cardmaking, off the page projects, SMASH scrapbooking, and technique-based classes. Classes are mainly 2 hours in length and will range in price from around $25 to $70 depending on the amount and cost of the products that are included.

Pre-paid ticketholders will be sent a password to access the classes on Tues 29th, 30th, and 31st of May (3 Day, 2 Day and One Day passholders respectively) at 9am and after that they will be released live to the public at 9am on the 1st of June. 

Classes start at 9.30am each day, so you must have a pre-paid pass to do the morning sessions, as door sales don't start until 10am.

Once you have chosen your classes you book them with the providers either online or by phone. Those providers will then send you confirmation and your bring list.

What to bring to classes?

Just your basic kit and bare essentials and bring list items for the classes only please. No big rolling trolleys or large bags are allowed into the classrooms or the venue for security and safety reasons.

There will be bag minding in the class info desk near the entrance to the upstairs classes for those needing to store class gear, suitcases, bags and shopping, which will cost you a Koha to be donated to Rainbow Place.

Basic Kit: Trimmer (or cutting knife and mat), Scissors, Pencil, Rubber, Ruler, Adhesives, holemaker such as an awl or similar.

Cancellations and Refunds

Please note that classes are not refundable (but are transferrable) if you are unable to attend SENZ for whatever reason. If you change your mind about the class you have booked into within 7 days of booking you may be able to transfer to another class with that provider but that will be at their discretion so please take your time and choose carefully. In the event of an Act of God, illness, or other circumstances that prevent the class being able to be taught at SENZ by the advertised tutor, and replacement tutors cannot be found at short notice,  the class kits and instruction sheets may able to be given to all those that have booked in, but that is at the discretion of the tutor and/or the provider. In all other cases the students will be entitled to either book to another class if available or receive a store credit.
