Workshops are open to all Guild members on a ‘first-come’ basis. One must register with payment to confirm participation. Workshops are publicized to Guild members first, and members have the benefit of several months of promotion to register before any non-Guild members may register. Two months prior to the Workshop, the Workshop will be offered to the public, at a non-Guild member rate. For the Guild to host professional instructors we need to cover instructor costs and therefore once an individual is registered there are no cancellations/refunds. Members may “transfer” their registration to another member; the Guild and its workshop chairs will not be responsible for this exchange and all arrangements and funds will be exchanged between the individual guild members. Once a member has found someone to exchange with, they are responsible for notifying the Guild chairs so that the appropriate attendee will be notified of all class information.

Waitlists: Once a Workshop is full, the Guild will keep a Waitlist. Please contact the Workshop co-chairs at directly at workshops@sfquiltersguild.org to be placed on the Waitlist. If an enrolled member is unable to find a replacement, they may contact the co-chairs, to learn of any members on a Waitlist.
