The praise for Nora Savage is high. One former student said:

“Nora Savage was vigorous, enthusiastic, encouraging, and sensitive to the needs and emotions of a diverse group. I would love to take further courses with her. She was positive in providing helpful critiques, encouraged similar interventions from students… BRAVO (as she would say to a student)”. 

The workshop will take place in the library meeting room at 1 Mill St from10:30 am - 4:00 pm . So get a few friends and sign up to come together. Gourmet box lunches will be provided by Gourmandissimo Catering. 

Interested? Tickets are $25.00 each including lunch and are available for purchase at the Orangeville Public Library.
