Q&A

Question:	Hi Matt, I was just trying to book a ticket for this and the website kept crashing - now they're all gone! Is there any chance you'll be running another class at some point in the near future? Many thanks, Ayesha
Answer:	There should be 5 tickets left as of March 14th 2pm. Not sure why it isn't showing that. Sorry for the inconvenience. Try the site again and let us know if it isn't working.

Question:	Are there any tickets left? Says it's all sold out, but just checking! If it is, in fact, sold out, will there be another workshop at some point?
Answer:	Hello, Yes, it's sold out as of March 17th. We will be doing another Vandercook workshop in May and/or June.

Question:	Do you have a wait list for the Vandercook workshop(s) ? If so, can I be added to it please ? Thanks !
Answer:	Yes! We will start having them again in June. You can email us (info@thecompoundgallery.com) with your name and info and we will put you on the notification list. Thanks!
