CCBS is happy to welcome Polina (Apollinariya Koprivnik) to teach In person classes for us September 19-22, 2025!

 

Classes will be held at the Fairfield Inn and Suites – 50 N. Clovis Avenue, Clovis, CA


Registration is $85 for the one day class and $170 for the 2 day class. You can take all of them, or just one or two. The bundle listed below is for both classes for $255.


These class fees are for CCBS Members, you must be a current CCBS member (or sign up now) to get this price.


 

Class fee does not include hotel stay, meals, or materials. Kits are required for the Friday Coat of Arms class, but not required for the Saturday-Sunday 2-day Eden class.  Buying an Eden kit is still a very good idea though since there are items that may not be in your everyday stash collection. I will be handling kit pre-orders about 1 month after sign ups, but you will receive and pay her for the kits on the day of class. Please bring cash for class kits and any trunk show items. If you don’t bring cash and ask to pay with a credit card, it would go through PayPal and the price would be 22% higher since it would have to go through her country’s processing and they take a substantial percentage.


Class fees are nonrefundable.


Please note that Kit prices are approximate and could be subject to change.


Friday – Coat of Arms necklace, required kit (5 colorways) – 100 euros


Saturday & Sunday two day class – Eden, optional kit (3 colorways) – 180 euros


Class is from 10 am - 5 pm (PST) with a one hour lunch. 


Lunch and dinner can be on your own or you can join us (dutch treat), more details to be announced later.


Polina is kindly donating a percentage of her sales from her trunk show. 

 

Kit Information

Once you have secured a space in the class, I will send you an email in about a month to accept your kit pre-orders for the required kit and the optional kits. If you like multiple kit colors, you are more than welcome to buy more than one kit for each class. Second kit orders will be processed after everyone gets their first choice of kit color.


There will be open beading and socializing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights in the beading room, times to be announced later. 


Feel free to bring snacks to share on any of the 3 days. 


Any questions, please email Class Coordinator Vicci Lane at snoopyave@aol.com

Please note that you DO NOT OFFICIALLY HAVE A RESERVED SPACE IN THE CLASS until you get a confirmation email from me saying that you have a reserved space in the class.  The paypal links don't have the ability to stop accepting payment once the class limit has been reached. We will only keep and process your payment if you have signed up in time to secure one of the class slots before the class sells out. If your payment is received after all the slots have been filled, we will put you on a waiting list and your payment will be returned to you. In no other circumstances are the class payments refundable. After your payment has been made, I will reach out to you via email to confirm your name, address, and phone number. After I have received that information, then I will send out an email confirming you have an official reserved space in the class. If you have not heard from me within a few days after making your payment, please email Vicci at snoopyave@aol.com.
