Shutter and Strum

Group Participants:
Schools and other organizations that partner with us will receive a discounted rate on workshop fees for their students or members. The exact discount
depends on the size of the group and the number of workshops they are participating in. To become a partner, contact us at owner@shutterandstrum.org.

Reduced Prices:
We offer reduced prices for participants who are only able to attend some of the workshop sessions (if any workshops are part of a multi-week series). The reduced price is calculated based on the number of sessions the participant plans to attend.

Full Scholarships:
Shutter and Strum also offers full scholarships to participants with demonstrated financial need. Before signing up for any workshop, contact us directly so we can provide a no-fee option.

*Please note that space is limited for each workshop series, and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Early registration is always encouraged to secure your spot!
