Workshops are a great way to learn tricks, tips and entirely new skills! Look how much fun we had in the photo at right!
All workshops are based on a 7 hour "work" time.
I generally spend an hour before and another hour afterwards setting up and packing up respectively.
Participants are welcomed and even encouraged to contact me afterwards as they continue to work with what they've learned.
Fabric painting is offered as a full-day workshop only. The others are available as evening courses in the St. John's (Newfoundland, Canada) area.
Prices are listed below, but there is a fair amount of flexibility for individual situations. Please don't hesitate to ask me about negotiating pricing for your particular circumstance - I won't take offense at being asked. My aim is to get out there and teach, while still making some money. If an alternate arrangement can be made that suits us both, we'll all be happy.
