My experience was a complete disappointment. Nothing learnt . Rude instructor, smoking 🚬 during the session , outside of course, so we had no instructor ... the session lasted 35 minutes. At first we had some masks he designed some rhombus on them. He asked as to draw he did the rest. I could have bought a better mask with 120 euros I have paid for me and my daughter. I asked a refund , of course I didn't get it. Do sth else or just buy a mask.
