Workshop Schedules

This fall, we are happy to announce two workshops. One is held online through zoom and another is in-person in partnership with the Broome County Public Library! Please feel free to choose what works for you or to attend both! All are invited to participate in as few as one or as many as all workshops in the series. Sessions are designed as stand-alone, useful as single sessions or collectively.
