Ocean Waves Quilt Guild Classes & Workshops

General Information

• At least 8 monthly classes are organized and offered by the guild.
• Classes are taught by professional quilters, usually the featured speaker of the month, or by members.
• Classes are held at two locations: Sept. - May classes are held at the Beacon Motel on Savannah Rd. (Lewes). Summer classes; July & August are held at the Lewes Presbyterian Church on King's Highway.
• Depending on the complexity - classes are:

- Half day classes (4 hours); usually held following the guild meeting & program
- Full day classes (9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.); usually held on the Tuesday following the guild meeting

Class Registration Policies

• Classes are offered to guild members first. Non members will be wait listed.
• Class registration opens 3 months before the class is scheduled.
• Wait-lists will be held until 1 month prior to the scheduled class.
• Payment in full must be received to hold one's place in a class (cash or checks accepted only).
• Class supply lists, pre class preparations, and directions are received once payment has been made for a class.
• Class fees are determined by dividing the instructor's charges by the number of participants an instructor determines to be ideal for the project.
• Pattern costs ARE NOT included in class fees.
• Non members will be charged an additional $5.00 to attend a class. If applicable, any non member attending the guild program associated with the class will also be asked to pay a $2.00 guest fee for the speaker.
• NO REFUNDS for classes are given. Registrations are transferable - either to a person on the wait list, or a replacement (found by the individual if there is no wait list).
• Registration for classes is done at guild meetings or by contacting our Program Coordinator - Sue Wimmer
