Saturday
Saturday classes are either one hour or two hours long. You may take either one 2-hour class or two 1-hour classes in both the morning and the afternoon. Classes designated as Workshops have fees required because they are hands-on classes which provide all the materials you will need to make a project which you will take home with you; this is in addition to the $20 fee for Saturday attendance. Space in the workshops is limited and will be assigned on a "first come, first served" basis. In the event that someone who has signed up for a workshop is unable to attend, that space will be opened to those on the waiting list.
