Daze Livingstone
Artist specialising in making a mess
Hi! My name is Daze, I have been studying art formally for the last five years, and have recently started my own business as a face painter alongside my work as a freelance illustrator. My favourite subjects for art are monsters, myths and insects. Outside of my art, all my free hours are spent with my border collie puppy; Fable, who can sing, dance and is just about to start learning agility. 
Suitable for
This camp is suitable for children who do not need one-to-one support and can manage in a play setting with a typical ratio of one supervising adult to eight children. We are not able to support children who have a history of leaving a supervised setting without permission due to the open nature of the setting. If you are unsure about whether your child's needs can be met in this setting, please contact us in advance to discuss further.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
