 Workshopz

Workshops require no experience – just an interest in trying new things.

Our spring (April) workshops are offered during kidding season - so an extra bonus may be to see brand new kids or even a birth.

We will present a workshop for a group of 3 - 5 people for any of these sessions on a day of your choice. 

Grab some friends, pick a couple of dates & give us a call to schedule your private workshop. 

 Call or email us for more information or to sign up.

Your space is reserved upon receipt of workshop fee.

Full refund of fee if your cancellation is two weeks in advance of session or if session is not full.

Workshops will be offered for a minimum of 3 participants.

All sessions are appropriate for children 12 years and older accompanied by an adult. 

 There is a $5 discount per person for two people attending from the same family.
