Administration Information

Important Dates

The 2009 Summer School will begin on Wednesday 7 January and conclude on Saturday 17 January. 

The closing date for enrolment is 5 December 2008. Enrolment prior to 5 December is highly recommended to enable organisers to determine the viability of the classes.

Late Enrolments

Late enrolments may be accepted at any time up to the commencement of the School if vacancies exist. Please be aware if you do enrol late some classes may have been cancelled or filled.

Tentative Bookings

Tentative bookings via phone or email for classes and/or accommodation will be held for a maximum of two weeks, or one week if bookings are tight. No tentative bookings will be accepted after the closing date of 5 December.

Material Requirements

On enrolment you will be advised of materials etc. you will need to bring with you. Please note that some classes have an earlier closing date for equipment to be ordered from the tutor, they are:

• Textile Classes: requests for use of a Bernina Sewing Machine* deadline 21 November 2008

An approximation of the material cost is given for each class but please note that some costs are difficult to assess. Students enrolling in Intermediate to Advanced level classes would usually have most of the equipment etc. needed and would only need purchase minimal amounts. Material kits (when available) are to be purchased from the tutor at the School.

* Berninas Students enrolled in Textile classes who are unable to supply a sewing machine may hire a Bernina for the duration of the course at a cost of $44.00.
