Important info:
Who is this class for?
This class is geared towards adults. Older children and teens accompanied by an adult are welcome. I share my home with two friendly cats so this class may not be right for someone with pet allergies. Space is limited to 10.
What do I need to bring?
This class will be held outdoors but in inclement weather we may move inside so dress for weather and bring warm socks or slippers to wear indoors. Most craft supplies will be provided but please see class description for specific items that you might want to bring to help you get the most out of the workshop.
Location details:
This is a private residence. Parking is on a private, dirt driveway on a private road. My home is a short distance up a stone walkway from the drive. Road and drive will be plowed and walkways sanded when necessary but please use caution when arriving (4 wheel drive vehicles recommended in winter).
Directions:
Our property is technically located in Westford Vermont but you will use 10 Apple Tree Lane in Underhill as your GPS address since we are right on the line. From Route 15 you will turn onto Seymour Road at Bushey’s North Auto Shop. Head down Seymour until you see Apple Tree Lane on your right. This is our private road. We are the first property on the left hand side. You will see a 3 car garage and two stone houses. Please park and walk follow the signs up to the house furthest away from the driveway #10.

Cancellation and Refund Policy:
I am unable to offer refunds for cancellations at this time. I understand that emergencies happen so if you do need to cancel for any reason, you are welcome to offer your spot to a friend or join us for another class in the same calendar year instead. I do ask that if at all possible you reach out via email to let me know if you are unable to attend or are running late so we don’t hold the start of class up. I will of course cancel in the case of severe weather and a full refund will be issued or your ticket price can be rolled into another class if you choose.
Please purchase tickets well in advance since I need a headcount and a minimum of 5 people signed up for class to run. If the class is set to run on the day of then I will accept last minute/same day sign ups but please email to make sure there is space. If class is cancelled due to lack of sign ups you will have the option to roll your ticket into another date or receive a refund.
