Registration & Payment Plans 

Sign Up for Your First Class (on the Grass Orchid)

Option 1: Register Online (Eventbrite)

Register and pay online using Eventbrite for the Grass Orchid Class morning.  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/chinese-brush-painting-the-grass-orchid-with-artist-ruth-ward-tickets-1987177579634?aff=oddtdtcreator.  

Option 2: Register by Check (Best Value)

Paying by check avoids Eventbrite fees.   (Eventbrite charges $39.11; the class fee by check is $35.)

How to register by check:

1. Email me first so I can hold your place for up to one week and to be sure that it is not too late.

2. Mail a $35 check to:

Ruth Ward
Blue Ridge Chinese Brush
6690 Howellsville Road
Front Royal, VA 22630

Make the check payable to Ruth Ward or Blue Ridge Chinese Brush.  Memo should say "Grass Orchid".  Checks are deposited upon receipt for the first workshop.

Waiting List (Eventbrite)

Eventbrite is set up for a waiting list.  If you are contacted by Eventbrite due to an early cancellation, you will have a limited time window to pay them and absorb that spot.  If you do not pay within a short window, the opportunity is removed and rolls to the next person on the waiting list.  If I call you, it means that someone notified me that they cannot make it.  Eventbrite cannot fill the spot that late.  Please bring a $35 check or cash if you are able to attend at the last minute.  You will also need to bring a check for supplies; don't worry, I have supply inventory.  

Reserving the Remaining Three Classes in the Series on an Optional Payment Plan

If you would like to reserve your seat for future classes, you may do so by check or Eventbrite.  (Eventbrite registration for Bamboo will open right after the Grass Orchid class.)  Other  classes will not wait as long to appear; but first you get a chance to reserve your classes by check if you claim them with a check at the Orchid class.  With your supply list, you will receive a Signup form to select the remaining class or classes using checks which are not deposited all at once, making it possible to stagger payments.    Bring the completed form to class with checks attached.  Seats are immediately reduced in Eventbrite if you sign up on Grass Orchid class with this form and checks.  The checks are held and deposited approximately two weeks before each class.  These deposit dates are listed on my calendar page.  This allows you to stagger payments while still securing your seat and you pay the lowest fees for the classes, saving over $12 in Eventbrite fees, the cost of another brush!
