WESTON SUPER QUILTS 2010

Workshops

This year at Weston Super Quilts we have lined up 2 international quilters to take our workshops. They will be teaching 2 completely different classes. Workshops are being held at The Winter Gardens again this year.

Both workshops will start at 10 am and run till 4 pm with a break for lunch giving you time to look around the show after your class. Included in the cost of the workshop is a one day's ticket into the show for you to see the quilts and shop with our various traders.

If you would like to use one of them, please let me know in advance so that I can book the required number of machines. (Please note if you bring our own machine it will need to be covered by a current PAT certificate. if necessary Mark Pickles can do this for you on the day, a small fee will apply.)
