Your labour beadline workshop is a 4-hour workshop where we’ll create labour beadlines together, share ideas & socialize with other birth workers.
The workshop fee includes all materials for one labour beadline. You can purchase additional materials for additional labour beadlines on the day or in advance for £7/per labour beadline.
The workshop fee also includes a set of printable materials, including the pattern (pdf-files) which you can use with your labour beadlines. Alternatively, you’ll get the chance to purchase ready printed and laminated copies on the day.
