We should have the Winter Semester 2024 catalog available online very soon. That gives time to review all of the classes and workshops on offer next semester before we open for registration the week of December 4.
In efforts to make online registration more accessible to all of our students, we are moving the daily registration start time to 8:00 pm. This helps accommodate those students who are unable to register during the day due to work commitments, etc.

Monday, Dec 4, 8pm: METALS
Tuesday, Dec 5, 8pm: WEAVING
Wednesday, Dec 6, 8 pm: CERAMICS
