The Make-it/Take-it
Mini Workshops (MITI) are
60 min introductory workshops offered in a variety of projects/techniques at $5 each to help cover the cost of materials. Workshops are generally offered twice during the day, on a first-come-first-serve basis.

FYI - some things you should know about the MITI's...these are offered by the guilds to introduce you to a new technique...with some limitations. Members of the guilds offereing the MITI's are often simply enthusiastic volunteers sharing their passion, and they limited their class size accordingly. We are also limited by the amount of time available and by the number of classrooms suitable for thses projects. And, in several cases, the $5 donation barely covers the cost of materials. Therefore, we would appreciate your patience and understanding in limiting your choices, or when finding that the morning classes have filled, consider signing up for an afternoon workshop. If there is a project you especially want to try, please check with the sponsoring guild to see if they might have an extra kit...even better - - join that guild and experience a variety of projects with them!!!

  • Crocheted Beaded Necklace (Harrisburg Crochet Guild of America)
