Artisans’ Row is a collection of workshop areas where artisans & scholars can demonstrate, share, and teach their particular skills & knowledge. We have a “lecture tent” available for traditional 1-hour lecture-type classes requiring electricity and projection; however, most of our instructors offer hands-on workshops or live demonstration class of any needed length. Artisans’ Row also offers multi-step classes, open workshops, and even one-on-one tutoring-type sessions as follow-ups to other classes, or for artisans to share the techniques and projects they are working on with the populace.
We invite everyone to come by and see what’s happening any day – visitors, observers, and questions are always welcome!
Teaching a Class: We are always looking for teachers! If you would like to teach a class, hold a workshop, conduct a demonstration, etc., at Artisans Row, submit your class online or via e-mail to help us schedule your class/activity. If you have any questions, please email artisansrow@gulfwars.org.
