Spring Workshops Planned at MERA

MERA’s Program Committee has been busy during the shutdown keeping an eye on potential workshops & activities that can happen as soon as we get the go ahead. We are very excited to announce the following events!

With the uncertainty of how long the shut down will last, we ask that you let Trina know if you are interested in a workshop by emailing meraschoolhouse@gmail.com, and once we get the go ahead, payment will then be due. Dates change as needed. Please note, we will post the new date for the Silhouette Workshop with Jan & Heather as soon as its know. More example pictures can be found on the MERA website and the Facebook page

A week before the workshop, if the province has lifted restrictions, your fees will be due – preferably using an e transfer to the same email address.
