Workshops & Lectures
Yes, you could learn from a book, or even figure it out on your own, but isn't it a lot more fun to learn from a pro and with a friend? And isn't seeing quilts "live and in person" so much better than a little photograph?
Below you'll find workshops, trunk shows and lectures in which you and your friends can learn from RaNae directly -- either online or in person -- and get the personal coaching you need to take your own work to the next level.
If you would like to book RaNae to teach at a show, guild or other event, click on "Booking and Registration" at left.
To register for an online class, click on "Full Description" in the course listing. For detailed information about how online classes work, click on Booking/Registration at left.
If you are looking for an in-person class to attend, you can see RaNae's schedule by clicking "See all events" in the green box at right. (Please note: while we do our best to keep this information upt-to-date and accurate, changes or errors may occur, so always check with the event to confirm details.)
See you in class soon! -- RaNae
