Workshops 2012


Introduction
It is hard to believe that 2012 sees us commence our third year here as 'the 'Embellees Team'.  We have thoroughly enjoyed delivering our Workshops over the past couple of years and getting to know so many lovely ladies in our local scrapbooking community. 

2012 will see us continuing to deliver 'hands-on, face-to-face' workshops in our local area of Newcastle, NSW - Australia on a regular basis and, compliment these with some new and exciting ventures that we are working on for release.... so stay tuned while we finish our 'secret squirrel' business ...oh so exciting! 


Where are our Workshops Held?
Our Workshops are held in Newcastle, NSW (Australia).  We host our Workshops at Edgeworth Bowling Club (CB) at Park Street, Edgeworth.  This is an easy exit off the F3 if you are travelling from Sydney, Central Coast or the Upper Hunter.  Our venue is a large auditorium and the resident cafe offers lovely coffee, cakes and a great selection from their very affordable lunchtime menu.  There is no hassle with parking and easy access to 'wheel' that tote in.

Costs?
Our Workshop costs for 2011 are:  $60.00 per participant.  This includes a full Workshop kit. Once you register your interest via email we will send you further information. We are striving to keep costs down so that we can offer you not only a great experience, but leaving you feeling like you really got 'value for money'.  There is an expectation that all participants will have a variety of scrapbooking tools that they will be required to bring to each Workshop, i.e. cutting mat, paper trimmer, scissors, tape, ink pads, etc. any additional tools needed will be outlined prior to each Workshop. 


Registrations?
As we have outlined above, we look forward to receiving registrations for our Workshop by emailing us at:  Embellees@bigpond.com

To secure your place on an Embellees Workshop these are your options:

  1. Pay a $20.00 registration fee within in 7 days of registering (non-refundable).  This will secure your workshop place up to 3 weeks prior to workshop date.  You must be paid in full 3 weeks (21 days) prior to the workshop date or you will forfeit your registration fee. Your registration fee will be deducted from your workshop fee if we receive full workshop fee paid up to 3 weeks (21 days) prior to the workshop date. 
  2. Pay your full workshop fee at registration to secure your workshop place.
  3. If you register and do not pay a registration fee or full fee we cannot ensure your attendance at the Workshop.

Refunds?
We know how difficult it is to pay for a Workshop and then 'disaster' happens and you cannot attend. Where possible we try very hard to assist each case individually, but we must make you aware of the following terms and conditions. Sadly, we have had to 'tighten' up our TandC's to ensure we can continue to operate our small business in a healthy, happy and productive way. We will always continue to aim at the best customer service possible and, take on board any feedback that assists Embellees to grow and our customers continue to feel that we provide an excellent value for money service:

Your workshop fee is transferable to another person you nominate.
  • Your workshop fee will be transferable if we have a full class and can allocate your spot to any one we have on a waitlist (please note we do not ensure that there will always be a waitlist for every workshop).
  • You can opt for the Workshop kit and no-attendance.  Any costs to post or deliver workshop kit will apply if necessary.
  • If we have a full workshop and a waitlist to 'draw from' - we will consider a transfer option to the next advertised workshop date as a one time only offer. It is important to note should you not be able to attend that workshop when the date 'rolls around' your fee is not transferable or refundable and no further transfer options will be offered.

Want More Information?
Below you will find the most up-to-date outline of our 'up-coming' workshops. If you are interested in joining us, please register your 'interest' by emailing us at: embellees@bigpond.com. We will send you further details so you can finalise your enrolment should you wish to proceed.

The aim of this workshop is to have you looking at digital elements to introduce to your scrapping tool kit.  Workshop attendees will be completing a hybrid layout using lots of digital printed elements and adding to that, a great kit of traditional scrapbooking embellishments.  This will be a beautifully inspired vintage layout called 'Stitches in Time'.
