Current location note / listed area: Kansas City, MO region; private studio by appointment
Private workshops are documented but a wedding-specific package is not. Confirm the exact project, group size, venue or travel arrangements, specimen sourcing, age suitability and applicable handling requirements. Do not assume a public storefront or that every preservation technique is available as a party workshop.
