Our workshops are held at the Homestead Heritage Traditional Crafts
Village, surrounded by our 510-acre working farm nestled on the banks
of the Brazos River in central Texas approximately 10 miles north
of Waco in the small community of Chalk Bluff. Waco is situated halfway
between the cities of Dallas and Austin, which are approximately 100
miles north and south of Waco respectively and are connected by IH
35, which runs 3 miles east of Homestead Heritage.
We intentionally limit the enrollment of most of our workshops.
We want to encourage discussion and provide as much personal
attention as we can. Since we expect our workshops to
fill quickly, we suggest you preregister well in advance
(see preregistration deadlines on the class schedule).
In order to secure your place in a class, we must receive
your full registration fee for that class. For your convenience, we
accept Master Card, Visa, American Express and Discover. If you prefer
to register by phone, please call Lisa at (254) 799-1480.
Should circumstances develop that prevent you from attending,
we will refund all of your fee if we are notified of
the
cancellation 30 days prior to the class date. If we are
notified after that date, we will refund your money only
if we are able to fill your place in the class. We
consider illness or family emergencies to be legitimate
exceptions to this policy.
Registration fees are listed with the schedule of classes.
Since students in craft workshops typically consume
materials
in the process of learning a skill or craft (clay, wood,
yarn, fabric and so on), registration fees include
the
cost of materials, supplies, equipment and so on
that are used during the class. All class fees include
sales tax where applicable.
Check-in and registration for all classes takes place at the Homestead
Heritage Visitors Center. Unless we notify you otherwise, workshops
begin at 9:00 a.m. and end in late afternoon with an hour lunch break
in the middle of the day. We suggest you arrive at 8:30 A.M. to give
yourself time to check in, register, pay the balance of any fees that
may be due and get to your workshop location. Complimentary continental
breakfast will be served upon check-in. Workshops will begin promptly
at 9:00 A.M. Thank you for being on time.
Lunch is available at our Homestead Farms Deli where we serve a variety
of wholesome homemade meals. We also provide a complimentary snack
each afternoon.
