What is a beta workshop? We're testing a new workshop format to get a better understanding of what you're needing for this kind of class. It will also help us plan better for future workshops. If that doesn't sound interesting to you, please wait until we're out of beta mode!

Location: 1210 W Granville Ave, West Storefront. We're located a block west of the Granville red line station and the Broadway 36 bus.

Accessibility & Parking: There are two steps down to get into the space. Our restroom is not ADA compliant. There is paid parking on Broadway and Granville Ave. I generally can find parking further west on Granville that's free. Note: there's permit parking perpendicular and north of Granville Ave.  

We'll have coffee, tea, and snacks. Feel free to BYOB.
