How do I register for a Workshop?

To register for a workshop - email your interest to register  to kinghws@gmail.com. At this time, please notify us regarding any special requirements such as allergies, service dogs etc so we can let other students know. Once you receive a confirmation reply, your payment will be requested to reserve your place in the workshop. This payment will hold your spot in the workshop.

NOTE: Participants under 18  must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.

How do I pay for a Workshop?

Once your registration has been confirmed by the workshop coordinator, you will be provided with instructions for payment:

 - by cheque or cash.  Cheques (payable to KHWS) or cash for workshop payment may be dropped off at our studio or sent by mail to the address below. 

- by e-transfer (specific instructions will be provided to you when your workshop is confirmed)

Equipment and Material fees

Materials and printing fees are payable to the instructor. Supplies/equipment lists will be distributed closer to the workshop.

Studio looms or spinning wheels are available to reserve (included in Introductory Workshops). Work must be removed from looms within 2 weeks of a workshop, after which a rental fee will be charged if the loom is not required for another workshop.

What if I have to Cancel?

If for some reason, you have to cancel, we might be able to fill your spot and give a partial refund. There will be a penalty to cover administrative time. If your spot can’t be filled, there may be no refund at all. Please understand that instructors plan for a certain number of participants. If a workshop is cancelled by KHWS (e.g. if there are insufficient registrations), then a full refund will be given.

If you are not yet a Guild member contact us HERE for more details. NOTE:  Our membership year begins June 1 and ends May 31.

In addition to scheduled workshops, we offer introductory classes whenever we have enough participants. If you and three friends want a particular workshop we can make arrangements.

You do not need to be a member to register for a workshop, but members benefit from reduced workshop fees.

Guild members have access to our studio equipment and extensive library.

We have mentors in spinning, weaving, basketry,  and felting.
