  1. Class registration forms are available in the newsletter, on the web and at the guild rooms.

  2. Classes marked with an asterisk (*) are Embroidery Techniques classes, although any member may register for them.
  3. A pre-day is a necessary time when participants and tutor will discuss specific details of the class proper and/or make prior preparations for it. The cost of the pre-day is included in the class fee.
  4. Guild classes require a minimum of four (4) participants and usually have a maximum of eight (8), with places being given to the first eight to pay their full fees. Others registering will go on a waiting list. A popular guild class may necessitate the formation of another similar one.
