**Important Workshop Policy Change**
Our monthly workshops are very popular and fill up fast. They're also a lot of fun and always have a lengthy waiting list. Thank you for making this social beading night such a success!
It's unfortunate, but we've been experiencing "no shows" or cancellations at the very very last minute. This results in us not being able to notify the next person on the waiting list of a newly available seat, or give the willing participant ample time to get to the workshop with the required materials. We feel this isn't fair to the waiting list participants who would really like to be in the workshop and believe this is happening because there is no loss in doing so, since the workshop time is free.
Therefore, starting with the October Workshop, and for all future workshops, it will be required that interested workshop participants sign-up in person like a regular class, receive a copy of the materials list, and provide a $5.00 cash deposit for their space in the workshop. If for any reason a registered participant does not come to the workshop their deposit will be forfeited. Those who attend the workshop will be given a $5.00 store credit, thus virtually still keeping the workshop free. Store credits may be used on the night of the workshop towards the purchase of any necessary materials to make additional designs of what they learned in the workshop or it can be saved and used on a future Bella Bead purchase. *Bella Bead will not be responsible for lost or stolen store credits.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause & we appreciate your understanding
