It is necessary to be registered for New England Traditions in order to sign up for classes. Class Fees (included in the total cost listed with each class): 2-hour class: $11 each 8-hour class: $29 each 4-hour class: $17 each 12-hour class: $40 each 6-hour class: $23 each Mul�-Media Acrylic: This classification of paint type has been used by teachers to indicate that a project may include the use of mediums or additives to the paint, or that additional materials are used to enhance the project. Check with the teacher for details. Special Supplies Required: The special supplies required, listed on pages 38–39, are those the teacher has specifically requested for that class. Remember that you are also expected to bring the usual painting supplies for the medium in which you are working (see page 37). Only odorless solvents may be used in both the Hotel and Trade Center. They are limited to small amounts stored in closed containers. It is suggested that you bring small containers to take extra paint with you for completing your projects. 3 Skill Levels: To assist you in selecting classes, each project has been assigned a skill level by the teacher. Beginner: For students with knowledge of the fundamentals of the medium. Taught at a slow pace with teacher assistance. Intermediate: For students with a good understanding of the fundamentals who are proficient in that medium. Taught at a moderate pace with some teacher assistance. Advanced: For students with advanced skills in that medium. Taught at a brisk pace with minimal teacher assistance. Extended/Intensive Study: Provides extended time to learn skills and techniques or a challenging experience for intermediate/advanced painters proficient in that medium. See class descriptions for specific information. Use these guidelines when selecting classes, and please do not exceed your abilities. Do not enroll in an advanced class if you have been painting a short while. When you choose a medium with which you are unfamiliar, select a beginning project. Requesting classes beyond your skill level may create a hardship for the teacher and other students in the class. If you are an advanced teacher/student taking a class for a possible teaching project, please keep in mind the teacher is teaching that class at the level advertised only. We hope this information helps you make your class selections successful. Class Selec�on: Classes will be assigned on a first-reserved basis you don’t miss a class because of insufficient funds, add up the most expensive classes you’ve selected in each time period and send that amount.

Using your credit card will enable us to charge you for the exact amount due. Class Sales: New England Traditions does not repurchase classes or refund class or project fees if you are unable to attend. However, a resale bulletin board will be set up near Registration if you would like to attempt to sell your classes or purchase available classes. Class resale can only be initiated if that class is sold out as the teacher has prepared for the registered number of attendees. If you cannot attend the Convention, please have a friend pickup your class surfaces. We reserve the right to cancel any class for insufficient enrollment. Surface Pick up No�ce: In the event you cannot attend or stay for a class for which you are registered, please pick up or arrange for the pickup of your surface and instructions from the classroom within the first hour of class. If you designate a friend to pick up your surface, that person must have your class confirmation sheet and a note from you or from the registration chair authorizing this action. To minimize class disruption, please attempt to pick up surfaces before class begins. Classrooms are open one half hour prior to the start of class. Once classes have been underway for one hour, those surfaces that haven’t been picked up will be forfeited. for all registrations postmarked no earlier than May 1, 2015.
