WORKSHOPS:
Join me in my new online workshop ‘Scribble Owls’ exploring fearless mixed media drawing and painting! Find out more in my Etsy Shop.
I would love to take part in the scribble owl workshop. But I live in the USA and U dint see that I can pay with the dollar currency. Could you please provide some direction for students outside of the UK?
Hi, thanks for your interest in this class. I am selling through Etsy so it should respond to where you are and show the currency in your local currency automatically. Maybe try this link:

OR go to Etsy.com and search ‘Kim Dellow – Scribble Owls’ if you use the quotation marks it should come up with the class and hopefully it will then be in your local currency too.
