Register in advance to guarantee your participation in a workshop.

To secure your spot, please register for your workshop at least two weeks in advance. Early registration is encouraged as workshops often fill quickly.

Workshop enrollment happens on a first-come, first-served basis. Many fill to capacity quickly and have waitlists months in advance. It’s best to register as early as possible – don’t delay! Registrations for onsite workshops should be made no later than 15 days ahead of the workshop start date so that we can include you when we’re making workshop determinations, ordering materials, etc. Touchstone’s onsite workshop determinations (running vs cancelling) are made 14 days in advance of their scheduled start dates, primarily based on the number of participants registered at that time.

  • A processing fee of $25 will be added to 1-5 day onsite workshops. All workshop participants must be at least 18 years of age, unless otherwise noted.
  • Remember: Materials and studios fees are separate from tuition fees and are to be paid in full once finalized (typically two weeks prior to the workshop).

To view a full listing of the Terms and Conditions as part of your enrollment, click here. Please review our updated Health & Safety Guidelines* and Cancellation Policy* prior to registering for any workshop.

*Subject to change based on health regulations and best practices. Registered participants will be notified if changes are made.
