Wed, 14 Oct 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Registration will open July 1st.

Early registration ensures that students can do their own photos. Registrations the day before class will need to buy a kit with one of my portrait patterns. Kit price is $30. There is no charge for custom patterns if I get photos 3 weeks before class.

Each kit includes the pattern, fabric for backing, binding, appliqués, and background, batting, printed freezer paper templates, fusible web and fusible interfacing, and embellishments as specified by the pattern.

Your pattern includes a QR code that gives you access to optional self-paced video lessons for just $5 more whenever you’re ready.
