St Mary’s College has asked us to host a Basket
Weaving Workshop at no cost to us. We
all agreed this would be a good opportunity for us but we have some questions:
o
What is the maximum number of students?
o
Will the workshop be held at The Studio or at
The College?
o
How much prepping and time commitment is needed?
o
What is the schedule and is it flexible?
