If you have any concerns about whether the food will suit you or not, feel free to reach out and/or bring along some food for yourself.

Yes, work-trade options are available. We do not want the cost of the workshop to keep anyone who is interested from attending. Usually the work-trade involves 3 hours of work-trade in exchange for a 3-hour workshop. Ideally, work-trade hours are to be worked off prior to taking the workshop. It may be possible to do some work-trade hours remotely (help with marketing and promotion, for example). Especially helpful is to do work-trade hours the day before workshops. It may be possible to do some work-trade the day of workshops, if set-up in advance.

There is no childcare at this time, but we do encourage families to participate together. We offer free attendance to children 5 and under, and a youth rate for folks ages 6-18. Please be mindful that all children and youth must have an accompanying adult attending the same workshop.
