Specific supplies for each class are listed in the class description by the instructor and must be brought to class by each participant.

Wheat and Oats. Several of the projects offered during the 2026 Convention require a substantial bit of wheat and oats. Through donations from Gladys Brockway, Rita Peterman, Dianne Gardner, and Mary Thrower; we will have wheat and oats available for any member who requests it. In exchange, we are requesting a donation to the Humanitarian Scholarship. Contact Mary Thrower at mthrower50@gmail.com. More information is in the Registration Packet on page 12.

If a kit is provided by the class instructor, class participants are required to purchase the kit. If you wish to purchase additional kits, you must contact the instructor to see if extra kits will be available.

Each class is listed as an Open, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or a combination. Descriptions of each of the skill levels are provided in the Registration Packet.
