Visiting speakers are the backbone of our monthly Guild Meetings. The wonderful workshops they present for guild members on the Sunday following the meeting are the best deal in town! For additional information about upcoming speakers, you also may visit the speakers’ websites.
If you haven’t taken advantage of the workshops, now is the time to do so! Our upcoming workshops have something for everyone and offer a lot for the money. The visiting artists work with our members almost one on one to share new techniques and refine our skills. Our workshops are self-supporting and we depend on our members to participate to help keep the great speakers coming to our Guild.
We have some great workshops coming up, so check out the speakers’ websites and also stop by the Workshop table at the Guild meeting to see samples, patterns and books. Our workshops are held on the Sunday immediately following the Guild general meetings and run from 10 am to 4pm. For more information, contact the Workshop Chairperson or stop by the Workshop table at the Guild meeting.
