03.01.2022 Grampians Texture 21 Thank you to everyone who has already booked for Textures next year, we have had a fantastic response to our program. There are still vacancies in a number of the workshops and of course we are taking waiting lists for workshops that are booked out already. I am optimistic that we will be able to proceed as planned. The COVID19 case numbers are coming down in Victoria and there is a plan, as hard it is on everyone and businesses and it seems as though state borders will be opening up by Christmas. We can be adaptable about how we run the program so that we can appropriately accommodate social distancing etc. If we do need to cancel because of COVID 19 there will be a 100% refund on workshop fees. Please note that state borders must be open to enable us to run Grampians Textures 21.
