A few notes about navigating our Workshop pages:

1. Our workshops are listed by subject. As you can see above, some subjects overlap, so please browse through them all!
2. We have a handy Three Day Schedule that will open in a separate window for you, so you can keep it open to refer to while making your plans. To open the Three Day Schedule, click here, or click on the link that says "View Schedule" near the top right of every page (in the green bar).
3. You can access the list of subjects from every page - it is at the top of the page, simply click on a subject and all classes in that subject will appear.

A few notes about registration:

We prefer you register online. It is simple! Here's how it works:

1. Below each workshop description you will find information about materials fees, teacher, etc. Below the teachers's name there is a link that says "Sign Up". Click on that link to register for that class.
2. You will be taken to the Registration Page - fill in all the information! If you are registering for someone else, use their information. If you are paying for someone else, you can change the billing information.
3. If you wish to register for more classes, please hit the "Click here to sign up for more classes" once you have completed your registration. Once you have selected another class, click the Registrant Name or the new Registrant if it is for a different person. If you decide to not add more classes and to check out - please hit the link that says "View My Classes" at the top of any page to return to the Registration/Billing Page.
4. You may choose to pay by check or charge from the Registration page - simply step through the process of your choice.
5. If you choose to pay by check, click the Pay by Check link and you will receive an email reminding you to send in your payment. PLEASE DO NOT SEND MATERIALS FEES TO US WITH YOUR PAYMENT!!!!! Materials fees are paid directly to the teacher at the time of class (the teachers buy your materials, not the fair, so you must pay them). If you later wish to pay by credit card, please contact Carol. You must pay within 14 days of registration to be assured a place in the class.
6. If you choose to pay by charge, click the Pay Now button and proceed to check out - your receipt is your confirmation.
7. If the class is full, you will not see the Sign-Up link. You may email carol @ fiberandfolk.com to request to be put on a waiting list. Please send all your information in the email.
