Workshops for 2022
The 2023 QAS Workshop Program is almost complete, and we will commence bookings for all workshops from 12 December 2022 (noting the John Wilson Workshop bookings opened in March 2022 and the Julie Ballis Portrait Workshop will initially be open only to last year’s participants until 2 January 2023).
QAS is changing the booking system this year to streamline bookings and reduce the burden on the workshop coordinator and Treasurer in accounting for attendance and payments. If you reserve a position in a workshop, you will need to pay the full amount for the workshop within three months before the workshop to secure your position. We will no longer be accepting deposits.
QAS is introducing a refund policy this year to recognise the costs incurred by QAS when members are unable to attend a booked workshop. If a member is unable to attend a booked workshop and provides sufficient notice to enable a replacement to be found, the member will receive a refund for the full amount paid minus a $30 cancellation fee. If QAS is unable to find a replacement, a cancellation fee of 50% of the workshop fee will be charged. If there are exceptional circumstances, the member may apply to the executive to have the cancellation fees reviewed.
We have held the workshop fees at the 2022 level for all 2023 workshops. Note the fees below are members prices with non-members paying a surcharge of $45 for each workshop.
To book, send an email to the workshop Coordinator at qasworkshopandrew@gmail.com to reserve a position. You will then be directed to make a payment by direct bank transfer to the QAS account. Once this is received, your position will be secured.
Workshop Coordinator: Andrew Smith
