Teachers have been specially selected this year to offer a broad range techniques so that students of varying skill levels and interests will find classes perfect for each of them.

You are invited to join us Friday evening at The Cat's Meow. You may enjoy refreshments while you swap trading cards, pick up your goody bags and instructions for the weekend, and shop! Each year, we have a trading card swap (trading card size is always 2 1/2" X 3 1/2"). Any theme is acceptable. Make sure to include your name on the back. You will want to make enough to trade with everyone!

Goody bags will be given out upon your arrival, and valuable door prizes will be given out at the end of the event. We will provide lunch both Saturday and Sunday which may be eaten in the meeting rooms. Coffee and water service will be provided in the classrooms both days.

Saturday evening, Sunday in the morning and at lunch time Sunday, we will offer merchandise for sale that is related to the class projects. You may pay for purchases with cash, check, or credit card. We will have a separate area set up as a "store" to make your shopping experience enjoyable.

A complete list of items you need to bring will be provided prior to the event. We make every effort to provide all materials for each class, but plan to bring your basic tool kit. Remember to have tool kits with you at all times as you will need them for the make-and-takes, as well. Closer to event time, you will be emailed a list of basic tools the teachers suggest you bring.

Full payment must be made by 3/01/18. No refunds will be made after 3/01/18. There are no exceptions, however, if you are unable to attend we will try to fill your space from our waiting list. If there is no waiting list, you may transfer your space to another on your own. Please inform us if this is the case. There will be a $50 processing fee for any refunds given between 1/15/18 and 3/01/18.
