Workshops, Lectures, & Trunk Shows

In addition to teaching classes, Barbara also gives workshops, lectures, and trunk shows. Events within 200 miles of Bridgewater, Virginia are illustrated with quilts. For those over 200 miles that require flights, the illustrations will be limited to PowerPoint presentations and what can be transported in a large suitcase. The cost of a workshop for fifteen students is $300.00 plus travel and lodging expenses. Additional students are $25.00 each. Trunk show and lecture fees are $200.00 plus travel and lodging expenses. These trunk shows and lectures last one hour, not including time at the end of the presentation for Q&A.

For any of these events, lodging expenses do not apply if the location is less than 60 miles away. Locations 60+ miles away from Bridgewater, Virginia will require lodging and round trip mileage, figured at the current federal rate. For locations over 400 miles away, traveling expenses include travel to and from the airport, long term parking, and taxi or car rental.
