This week we took a trip to the ‘Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion’ exhibition at the V&A and oh wow – it was amazing. If you’re into fashion then this will have you swooning all over the Spanish fashion designer.
We are hugely inspired by anyone who is a master of their trade. At The Refinery we pride ourselves on having incredible teachers who are experts in their field. Each one with completely different backgrounds and a wealth of knowledge from all over the world. The amount of dedication, practice and loves that goes into becoming so skilled and creative in an area of work is phenomenal and we really value what our teachers bring to the studio. THANK YOU!!

This has been one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make, but unfortunately we have to close the doors of the studio after 11 years due to insanely rising costs and the effects of algorithms from big tech. We want to celebrate our successes and the truly special community around us. We have had the BEST time welcoming so many amazing people through our doors. Last day will be 31st May and you will still be able to purchase one off drop ins for the classes which will help us support the teachers in this transitional phase. Please understand there can be no refunds on passes that have not been used. Words can’t begin to describe the deep feeling of gratitude we have for you and how much we will miss seeing you all take care of yourselves and others. We’ll be back in another form soon 🙂
