Brooklyn Skillshare 2010: What to expect on Oct 9th!
Brooklyn Skillshare
The Second Annual Brooklyn Skillshare will be held on Saturday, October 9th, 2010 from 10am-4pm at The Brooklyn Community Arts & Media High School in Bed-Stuy. 3rd floor of Francis Scott Key Middle School (old sign). 300 Willoughby Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11205
The Skillshare is FREE to the public (with a $10 suggested donation)
NO pre-registration is necessary, but classes are first come first served**
• **Unfortunately this year, there is a cap of 25 people per class (as per fire safety regulations for the school), but that means seating and being able to hear your teacher!
• There will be 15 minutes between each block of classes, so people can have time to change classes--125 tickets (5 block of classes x 25 spaces per class) will be handed out in the 15 minutes between classes. Again, first come first served.
• That said, while we want everyone to be able to attend all the classes they want, we hope the public understands there is the possibility that classes will fill up seeing as this is a free event. In that case, Devi Yoga will be having a free yoga class during Block I and the awesome team from Bags for the People will have bag sewing classes going on in the cafeteria for Blocks II, III, and IV as well as for over-spill from other classes!
