How to sign up for a class:
Each class is filled to its limit (usually 13) by a first-come-first-served receipt of check made payable to Medicine Bow, Ltd. You can reserve a spot by email or phone and that spot will be saved for one week, giving the applicant time to mail in a check. A letter of information and directions is then USPS mailed or emailed to the applicant. A check received after a class fills is, of course, returned in full. A cancellation 7 full days before the class is also returned in full. For a cancellation made 4 full days before class, 50% is returned or 60% is applied to a future workshop.
Overnight classes use Medicine Bow's campground, where lasting friendships are made around the campfire. If you are not up for camping, local Bed & Breakfasts and motels are available in Dahlonega. I will be glad to help with those contacts. Students bring their own camping gear and food unless otherwise stated.
