Class Information

Class Locations:
Classes are held in one of several buildings on the Shake Rag grounds or in a large well equipped artist’s studio around the corner. Also, we occasionally utilize other studio spaces in town within a few blocks walk. You will receive your classroom assignment when you check in on the day of class.  It is advisable to arrive a few minutes early to allow time to get to your classroom space. See our Map and Directions

What to Bring:
For most classes we supply everything you need for the class. If an instructor requests that you bring materials or tools, this is noted in the class description on the website and an exact list of what to bring will be included on your confirmation letter.
Please DO NOT bring pets, young children or other observers to class.  Pets often create allergy problems and extra non-registered guests can be disruptive to the class.

Lodging and Meals:
Class fees do not include lodging. We have 3 guest rooms and 2 guest suites conveniently located right at Shake Rag Alley. The suites have two bedrooms and a full kitchen, so are ideal for sharing with friends for your workshop getaway. Visit the lodging page on our website for details. In addition, there are three motels and a number of bed and breakfasts in Mineral Point. For more information on Mineral Point lodging, visit the Mineral Point website www.mineralpoint.com, or call our office and we will be happy to assist you in finding lodging.

There are a number of restaurants within a few blocks of Shake Rag Alley. You will receive a list of dining options when you check in for class. For more information about Mineral Point shops and services see the Mineral Point web site.
