Times TBD
For all those who love creating! Costume Academy is a one day event where you can learn techniques to take your projects to the next level. The day is composed of three sessions and includes a variety of class topics such as ribbon chatelaines, fairy wing flower crowns and digital project organization!
Here’s how it works: There are 4 classes offered within three time slots. Each student chooses up to three classes, one for each time slot. There will be an hour and a half lunch break after the first session and a 30 minute break between the last two sessions.
The registration cost for members of GBACG is TBD and will go on sale on TBD. For non-members the cost is TBD and will go on sale on TBD based on availability. Join the guild before TBD to get the member rate and to sign up before non-members! Be sure to check the classes offered before purchasing a membership.
