Workshop Details

Workshops*
Our Guild provides access to a variety of workshops at bargain prices. To succeed with a workshop:

• Sign up early to get the supply list.
• Do the prep beforehand!
• Check your e-mail for details on class materials and other pertinent information.

When we are back in person the following hold true:

• The church will be open by 8:30 AM. Plan to arrive before 9:00 AM to set up for the day. Besides supplies suggested by presenter, consider bringing a long extension cord and a power strip. Make sure you power strip will plug into your extension cord – some heavy extension cords only accept two prong plugs. A light jacket may be a good idea as well.
• Bring a snack for lunch break, or plan to run out and pick up something quick. Occasionally we go out for lunch as a group, but not usually.
• We need to be out of the church between 3 and 3:30 PM.

*Workshops are held either on Saturday or a week day (Wednesday).   Check for correct time for Workshops on the Friendship Star Newsletter.
