In addition to teaching classes, Barbara also gives workshops, lectures, and trunk shows. Events within 250 miles of Bridgewater, Virginia are illustrated with quilts. For those over 250 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 $600.00, plus travel and lodging expenses. Additional students are $40.00 each. Trunk show and lecture fees are $400.00 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 120 miles away. Locations 120+ miles away from Bridgewater, Virginia will require lodging and round trip mileage, figured at the current federal rate.
