As one final goodbye on Saturday 2nd april ( the last lesson) anyone who has been taught by the mermaid academy that owns their own tail is welcome to come join in with the students who are currently with us from 830 till 1030
If you are able to come please private msg us so we roughly know how many are gonna join in

It is with great regret that as of the 2nd April the IW Mermaid Academy will not be teaching. With the cost of living going up and a reduced number of pupils we are no longer able to survive
Both Ian and Gemma are very sad as they have enjoyed teaching and seeing the smiles that end up on the faces of all that have been part of the journey
Thankyou to the waterside pool for the last few years

So we had a very special visit today!!!

The beautiful Mermaid Marianne came to see all the mermaids, and wow what a morning. She has also kindly donated one of her books, that she has written herself on Mermaid Crafting (which will be in the pictures) so that we can give away as a prize for our next competition. πŸ˜€
Thankyou so much Marianne you really made the girls morning, they loved practicing posing, blowing hearts, bubbles and rings. This has givin the girls inspiration for their Mermaiding future.
She was so impressed with you all young Mermaids in the making. 😊

THANKYOU AGAIN... πŸ˜ƒπŸ’¦πŸ’™πŸ’œπŸ§œβ€β™€οΈπŸ§œβ€β™‚οΈπŸ§œπŸ’¦πŸ’¦
