Workshops Led by Guest Speakers
** Joji Locatelli workshops are virtual (Zoom). **
Attractively priced Workshops are a valuable perk of your Guild membership. Seating is limited; advance registration is required and will guarantee your place.
Registration for In-Person Workshops
- Times, dates, and workshop topics are subject to change (especially those which appear in black type).
- Orange titles are your link to detailed information on time, topic, suggested skill level, materials you may be asked to bring to the class, any additional materials fee, and how to register.
** Registration for Virtual Workshops ** — Check individual workshop page for details.
Workshop Cost
- Each workshop, unless otherwise indicated, is $30 for members.
- For non-members, your first workshop fee is $65 which includes a Guild membership for 2025. Your second and subsequent workshop fees are the same as for members — $30 each.
- Additional material fees for some workshops are noted in workshop descriptions and are typically paid directly to the program leader at the beginning of the workshop.
Location: In 2025, in-person workshops continue to be held at the Encinitas Community Center. Check individual workshop page for details.
Homework and Materials
- Check the workshop page in advance to learn if there is homework for the particular workshop and for a specific list of supplies and equipment needed for each workshop.
