Classes

Class Structure: A wide variety of weaving and other fiber arts classes are taught throughout the year. Hands-on classes provide a relaxed pace of study over several weeks for both the public and CHG members. The classes are taught by CHG faculty members and recognized community artists who have proven their ability in the medium or technique as well as the ability to teach. Some classes require a prerequisite basic knowledge, but beginner classes are always available. Classes are offered on weekdays, evenings, and weekends, and some are approved for Georgia Department of Education PLU Credit.

Materials: Looms and other major equipment are included in the class fee, but students are often asked to pay a nominal materials fee to the instructor on the first day of class.

Fees: Please see current class schedule for details on individual classes.

Registration: Registration deadline is one week before class begins, unless otherwise indicated. Students are accepted on a first-come basis, based on receipt of payment. You will not receive a written confirmation of your registration - your canceled check is proof of registration.

Cancellation: You may cancel in writing until the registration deadline. Your class fee will be refunded, minus a $5 processing fee. Fees cannot be refunded for registrations canceled after the deadline. If CHG cancels your class, we will contact you by phone before the first scheduled class meeting. Your class fee will be refunded in full.

Location: Most classes are taught in Room 1 at the North DeKalb Cultural Center 5339 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, GA, 30338.

Workshops

Workshop Structure: Three CHG-sponsored workshops are offered each year, including at least one by a nationally known fiber artist. These provide an intensive study of a specific technique over a short period of time (several days). Students are often required to do some prepatory work, such as warping looms or winding skeins.

Materials: Students are often asked to bring easily obtainable supplies and pay nominal fees for specific material to the instructor on the first day of the workshop. Looms and other equipment are not included in the fee.

Equipment Usage: Qualified members can contact the Properties Chairman to reserve looms and other equipment, with advance notice.

Registration: CHG members are given priority for workshop registration. If there is space available after current members have registered, others from the community may join the guild to take advantage of these workshops.

Location: Unless otherwise indicated, most workshops are held at the North DeKalb Cultural Center 5339 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, GA, 30338.

Mini-Workshops

Mini Workshops are short, inexpensive (often free) learning experiences that are offered several times during the year. These mini-workshops are usually held in the afternoon after a CHG Meeting. Mini-workshops are generally taught by volunteers and cover a wide range of topics.

We're always on the lookout for new topics and teachers for mini workshops. If you have any ideas you'd like to share, contact the Workshops Chairman.
