Anyone interested in leading a gourd workshop for 2023 may submit an application by March 18, 2023 so that the Committee can review and confirm selected projects. If you need additional time to prepare the application, or have questions, please contact John Martin at martin.jf.kl@frontier.com, or 937-446-2174.

Workshops are scheduled for October 6 and 7, 2023.

Morning 9-12	3-hour	3-hour

Afternoon 1-5	4-hour	4-hour

All Day	7-hour	7- hour

There are no Sunday Workshops

Workshops may be offered multiple times to increase flexibility for visitors. Seven-hour workshops (all-day) combine the morning and afternoon sessions (9 am. - 5 pm.). Lunches are not provided, but time should be planned for the noon meal. Workshops may be shorter than the allotted times, but should start at 9 am. and/or 1 pm. Since the afternoon workshops end at 5:00 pm., and vendors also close at 5:00 pm., some participants may wish to take an afternoon break (or leave a bit early) to buy supplies.

Applications should include the following ten items.

Your name, address and contact information.

A brief biographical sketch.

The workshop title and a brief description (including the project size and a clear photo).

Your charge per participant (OGS will add $5 to your stated cost).

The skill level suggested for participants (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, All).

Time(s) requested for the workshop. These will be confirmed with you as the Workshop Schedule takes shape.
