All sessions are for members and registered guests. (Click here for how to join us!). Workshops are held on the third Saturday of every month – except December, July, and August. All workshops are now virtual, hosted on Zoom.
Past members may attend one workshop/meeting for free, and registered guests may attend once for a $15 fee (if you join, that $15 will go toward your membership fee).
Saturday workshops start at 10:30 am and typically run to 12:00-1:00 pm.
In addition, we offer weekly Monday evening online ‘write-in’s’ and occasional Tuesday ‘pop-ups’ where members get together to discuss topics online in an informal setting
