The Cultural Heritage Center is proud to offer its inaugural Series of Workshops in July, 2006. Our purpose is to continue the tradition of Rufus Porter as a teacher of the traditional arts of the 19th Century through classes, lectures and workshops in Bridgton.
We will offer programs throughout the year, and an annual series of classes the second week of July. Bridgton offers year round recreation and scenic beauty, and now we add a week of family fun and learning.
With such well known notables as Sumpter Priddy III, Linda Carter Lefko and Betsey-Ann Golon, this is a “don’t-miss” event. Learn to stencil, paint a wall mural, create a floor cloth and many more traditional arts. The evening offerings, all free of charge, include the opening reception, potluck supper, picnic by the lake, and evening speakers, which will complete your days of study.
We invite you to join us for an exciting week.
There is an opening Meet & Greet reception at the Rufus Porter Museum on Monday evening, July 10, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.
Further information on the events is forthcoming; please keep checking the website.
Class registrants will receive written confirmation for each class. Confirmation materials will include directions to all class sites.
Payment in full is expected at the time of registration. However, if this is a hardship, a deposit of $50 per class will hold a class place until June 27th. Deposits are non-refundable.
We will maintain waiting lists for filled classes and contact students should there be a cancellation.
Classes that do not have sufficient students may be cancelled. All monies will be returned for any cancelled classes.
In the event that an instructor is unable to participate and a suitable substitute cannot be found, all monies for that class will be returned.
Students who cancel after being confirmed into a class will be charged a cancellation fee regardless of the reason for canceling.
Students who cancel their reservation more than 21 days in advance of the first day of the class will be charged a cancellation fee of 50% of the cost of the class (Materials fees will be refunded in full). Cancellation fees reflect the cost of registration and other services.
No refunds will be given to students canceling 21 days or less from the first day of the class due to faculty contracts, material acquisitions, housing and travel agreements. If the cancellation can be filled from the waiting list, a full refund will be given.
No refunds will be made after the start date of a class. Registrations are NON-TRANSFERABLE. Students who cancel their enrollment in a class to transfer to another must pay the cancellation fee, plus the deposit for the class they wish to transfer to.
