Our
Training enterprise is organized into three categories of services:
-
Knitting Parlor Assistance.
Short
demonstrations and information on specific knitting and crocheting techniques
based on your specific questions or requests while you are in our
shop. We are prepared to provide this service anytime during normal operating
hours on an 'as-needed' basis. This training is in the form of answering
questions or short demonstrations requiring no more than 10 minutes.
-
Private Instruction
on knitting and crocheting. We provide this service based on your specific
requirements. The training is one-on-one and is private. Rates are on an
hourly basis and the length of the instruction may vary from one 90-minute
session to several sessions spread over a period of several days. Call
or e-mail us now to register for your private instruction.
-
Group Workshop
(maximum of 6 Individuals per class); average length: two 90 minute sessions
in our 'Elsie's Corner' training facility shown below. Workshops
will range from one to four sessions where each session may be 90 to 120
minutes.
-
We
invite your recommendations for workshop topics and projects. Based on
your requests, we will prepare a plan and schedule for our workshops which
will be posted here for your convenience.
Before a workshop
can be scheduled, we will prepare a plan that will identify the objectives
of the workshop, the specific skills and techniques that will be covered
and the exercises and topics that will be covered during each session of
the workshop. Our objectives in a workshop will be made clear to you at
the beginning of the workshop and guarantees will be made as to the specific
skills and techniques that you will learn by the end of the workshop. A
workshop will be organized as a set of sessions.
We plan our workshops
seasonally (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer) and we publish a Workshop
Catalog which presents a calendar of all workshops (shown at left)
that will be offered for the season along with the number of sessions that
each workshop will include and the dates and times for each workshop. This
schedule is also available on the Bayberry Blog. (Left
click on Calendar to download and print.)
The
Winter 2010 Workshop Catalog will be available by 15 January 2010.
The Catalog also
contains a detailed description of all workshops for the season. Visit
this page periodically to see if our Workshop Catalog has changed. The
cover page will identify the date of the current revision. Also checkout
our Bayberry
Blog for any articles about our "Workshops". While you are there,
you can tell us what topics you would like to see in a workshop or question
us about specific workshops and lessons.
With the development
of workshops, provisions will be made for in-house production of videos
of those workshops that may then either be made available to your or used
on our web site for on-line training. Along with the workshop plans and
training materials, the videos will form part of our growing toolset in
our training enterprise.
