Programming

Programming at MuseCon runs from Friday at 2pm until 3pm Sunday.

Program Information (as PDF documents):

MuseCon will be hosting a "show and tell" session for all members. Please join us!

We have some returning favorites from last year, and some new people, and some new things. The blinkie guys will be there with a new design just for us! Loren Damewood will be there, and will be teaching us how to make silver bracelets!

There may still be some changes as we get confirmations (or cancelations) from the people that have volunteered (or got drafted) to teach these sessions.

Most sessions are included with your membership. Some of the sessions include an additional fee to pay for the materials involved. You can preregister for the individual classes that you are interested in to assure yourself a spot. Look for a Click to register for this activity symbol in the grid below, or look for a "register" link on the the description page. You may also browse through all of the registration pieces too.

If you have an idea for something you would like to see, or would like to volunteer for something, please let us know
