MADAME TWIG’S WORKSHOPS

Workshops are what we do! Join us to make a basket, garden ornament, bird feeder or some natural décor! We offer workshops in a small group format so that all attendees get adequate teaching time and leave with a beautiful woven work of art! We offer workshops throughout the year using our special varieties of basketry willow. Beginners are welcome in most of workshops, if experience is required it will be posted in the course description. Our classes are designed for adults, minimum 18 years of age or older, unless otherwise indicated. If there are workshops available they will be posted under the workshop tab.

The Registration Process for our workshops is a little different due to the nature of our classes and the preparation required. The process is as follows

• Fill out the form with your desired class

• You will receive an invoice via email within 48 hours of your registration which will include an attached PDF document with all pertinent information for your class. If your class is full we will notify you to let you know you have been added to the cancellation list.

• Invoices include a due date, please take note of yours. Willow preparation begins well in advance of classes. Invoices that go 5 days overdue are automatically cancelled.

• Your payment secures your spot in the class. Invoices that go 5 days overdue will be automatically cancelled so we can fill the space.

• Please view our cancellation policy prior to booking.

Booking Your Workshop

Spaces are limited and many of our classes fill up quickly, we encourage you to join a waiting list for any classes marked 'SOLD OUT'. Once you register we will send you an invoice by email within 48 hours. Bookings are payable by credit card or e-transfer on a first come first served basis. The full fee is due upon registration. Before you book we encourage you to read our cancellation policies. If you have a gift certificate you may redeem it when you receive your invoice.  

If you are looking for a unique gift for someone special, we have beautiful, baskets available, carefully crafted with our hand harvested, cultivated basketry willows. Prices range from $130 to $300. Available by appointment only.

We are pleased to arrange classes for private groups at a flat fee; please contact us for pricing and details. Private workshop fees are due at the time of booking. Individual payments are not permitted for group bookings; the group organizer will pay the fee in full at the time of booking. Limited Availability.

Since the class is private, individual spaces are transferable but non-refundable. If the entire group choose to cancel the workshop the following policies apply:

• ONE MONTH OR MORE: We offer a refund less a $50 admin fee.

• UP TO TWO WEEKS: Because materials will be prepared for your project well in advance of the workshop cancellations from 14 to 30 days prior to the class will receive a 50% refund.

• LESS THAN TWO WEEKS: The fee is non-refundable.

• IF YOUR WORKSHOP IS CANCELLED BY MADAME TWIG: In the unlikely event that we must cancel or reschedule your class we will notify you by email and send you 100% refund.
