Workshops
The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.
- Kurt Vonnegut
Workshops are a great way to focus your learning on a specific skill, concept or theme and are offered throughout the year online (see below if any are coming up) and around Guelph, as well as at ‘ukulele festivals and events. Subscribe to the monthly email and follow along on our social media accounts (see bottom) to be sure to hear about upcoming workshops and classes.
