The full workshop schedule now posted for this semester. This fall, many of our workshops will be offered twice in one day: from 12-1pm and again from 4-5pm. Registration for our Baylor workshops is free, but we do ask that you make every effort to attend each workshop that you sign up for, so that seats do not go unfilled. All materials will be provided for the workshops -- just bring your creative spirit!
