General Workshop Details
The cost of workshops for Las Arañas Guild members is $80.00 per day. Non-Las Arañas members will be charged an additional $35.00. This will cover membership dues if they care to join.
All workshop attendees are responsible to pay material fees directly to the Instructor at the beginning of the workshop.
For convenience, non-members can just pay the membership fee through the Las Aranas PayPal (CLICK HERE).
A Guild member usually houses the workshop instructor. This person provides breakfast and lunch for the instructor and possibly dinner the night before the workshop—the Guild covers the cost of dinners during the workshop. For this service, the person housing the instructor receives the workshop at half price (plus any materials fee).
Workshops generally start at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. There is a break for lunch. Members should bring a lunch and beverage.
*The Jodie Aves Scholarship was formed by the family and friends of the late, long-time and very active member of Las Arañas Spinners and Weavers Guild. Jodie was an avid spinner, dyer, knitter and general fiber enthusiast who readily and enthusiastically shared her knowledge and skills with her fellow guild members. In loving memory of her dedication to promoting education in the fiber arts, this Scholarship has been established to benefit the members of Las Arañas.
This Scholarship Fund is used specifically for Guild members who have signed up for a Guild sponsored workshop. The recipient of the scholarship will be chosen by lottery from those who have signed up for and paid for the workshop. The whole amount of the workshop fee (not including any materials fee) will be paid from this scholarship fund. Anyone receiving a scholarship will not be eligible to receive another one for three years from the date of the scholarship granted.
