SUPPLY LISTS
Each instructor has made up a Supply List of tools, supply, and materials that they want you to have during their workshop. You may bring everything with you or you may purchase some of the tools, etc. on the first morning of classes. We have made an effort to get this information to you early so you can identify what equipment you have on hand, and plan any purchases.

Shop for Winter Workshop Supplies
Tevel from Allcraft Jewelry Supply Company will be bringing the items specified on each instructors "Supply List". On the first day of Winter Workshop,the tools and supplies will be separated by instructor and only those students in that class will be able to purchase from that instructor's table. This will eliminate the possibility of not enough supplies for a class. Tevel will also have a table of general tools and supplies that anyone can purchase. After the first day, all of the tools will be together and anyone may purchase anything. For the convenience of our workshop participants, if there are tools or supplies that you would like to have for Winter Workshop, instead of bringing them with you, you can contact Tevel and place your order with him directly. He will then bring your order to New Smyrna Beach with him and you can pick it up the first morning. The deadline for placing those orders is December 20.

FUNDRAISING

Since Winter Workshop is a huge undertaking for our FSG chapter, we plan several fundraising activites throughout the week to defray some of the expenses of bringing in such wonderful instructors into such a unique facility. We will have both silent auctions and a live auction (an evening you won't want to miss!) Our auction items are donations from our Winter Workshop participants, FSG-NE members, and many generous tools and other jewelry resource suppliers. Please plan to pack a few donations of your own for our auctions when you are packing your toolbox.

This year we will be adding a new FUNdraiser, the Designers Challenge. It is our own jewelry version of Fashion Runway (think “reality TV” jewelry style!) Details will be available in your registration packet.

Please feel free to contact Karen Tweedie with any questions, or to donate auction items.
