Workshop Etiquette

These guidelines are developed using a sense of fairness, politeness, common sense, and above all, consideration for others.

ALWAYS WEAR YOUR NAME TAG: this helps your instructor identify you by name.
BE ON TIME: arrive early enough to be set up and ready when class starts. This includes returning from lunch on time.
LISTEN TO YOUR INSTRUCTOR: if you don’t understand, or need help, ask for help from your instructor, not your beading neighbor.
ASK QUESTIONS…BUT remember this is a group setting. Please do not monopolize the teacher’s time or discuss unrelated personal beading projects.
KEEP CELL PHONES SILENT AND OFF THE WORK TABLE: PLEASE LEAVE THE CLASSROOM TO ANSWER PHONE CALLS/TEXT MESSAGES.
KEEP CONVERSATION TO A MINIMUM: lots of talking is distracting to your instructor and your classmates. Use your “inside voice” so others are not disturbed.
RESPECT COPYRIGHT LAWS AND YOUR INSTRUCTOR: Project instructions are not to be copied or taught without written permission from the instructor.
DO NOT TOUCH ANYONE’S BEADWORK unless invited to do so and then only if your hands are clean.
NO FOOD in the classroom please.
NO PERFUME or smelly lotion. Many people are allergic to perfumes – 20 people in a classroom wearing perfume can be overwhelming for us all!
NO EXTENSION CORDS ALLOWED: All electronics, including task lights, used in the classrooms must be battery operated.
