• Check the Resources page of this website for a list of what to bring to class
• Your lunch or a snack.

We arrive at 9:15 AM, set up for class and make any necessary ginza purchases. The lesson begins at 9:30 AM and you are generally on your way home by about 2PM. Bring a lunch or snack to enjoy.

There will be a definitive break between the 1st and 2nd arrangements at about noon to allow everyone the opportunity to watch the critiques of all the arrangements and everyone the chance to have a snack break.

Please do not take your arrangement apart until all arrangements have been critiqued. If you need to leave before all arrangements have been critiqued, you will not get credit for the lesson. Plan your time accordingly.
