In celebration of Mother's Day, we'd like to give everyone (you don’t have to be a mother to participate) a chance to take another Gwen Bortner class and save some money at the same time.
If you sign up for one of Gwen Bortner's classes between April 30th and May 4th, we'll give you a 25% discount on any second class (of equal or lesser value). For example, you sign up for Mosaic Knitting ($60), and then sign up for the Entrelac Basics class (a $60 value), the Entrelac Basics class will be only $45.
For those who signed up for any of Gwen's classes before April 30th and want to take another class, you will get a 40% discount on an additional class. For example, you've already signed up for Entrelac Basics and want to take Mosaic Knitting, instead of $60 it would be $36.
The above discounts only apply to one additional class and are not transferable to anyone else.
