Finally, OGS reminds you that you must attend the workshop for which you are registered. You may not switch workshops at the Show.

Walk-in participants are welcome for those workshops having space remaining.  Reservations are recommended.

Skill Levels

Please note that workshop descriptions state the skill level required for each project. These are somewhat subjective, but are meant to guide workshop participants. The levels are:

B – This is a beginner level project, specifically designed for a person who is new to a technique or is not yet proficient in it.

I – Intermediate projects require that a participant be familiar with a particular technique and have basic skills in it. This workshop will benefit the artist who is interested in becoming more proficient.

A – Advanced projects require that a participant be familiar with a particular technique and be very comfortable with skills in it. This workshop will benefit the artist interested in fine-tuning proficiency.

All – All participants, regardless of training and experience, are welcome to join in the project. The leader is prepared to teach all of the skills required to complete the work.
