The Group Correspondence Course (GCC) program is seeking teachers to offer courses for our members. Each of these courses should be a project that can be stitched over a period of 5 to 6 months. The course should have about the same amount of information that would be covered in a two- to four-day workshop. We are interested in all techniques and stitching levels.
The course must be an original design created for the program or a class previously taught at an EGA National Seminar.
One value of the GCC program is the opportunity for the stitcher to have the teacher review the finished piece. This provides excellent feedback that normally is received in an in-person classroom setting.
After a GCC text is developed, it is reviewed and piloted by a small group of stitchers. Once the text is approved, it becomes a part of the Education program for at least 3 years.
GCCs offer low cost, high quality learning experiences for groups of up to 20 participants plus their group coordinator. GCCs are open to all EGA members.
-
- Participants work together or individually to learn new techniques. Participants share the course fee.
- Each participant pays for his/her own text. Participants provide their own supplies. Note that on rare occasions, a teacher may include hard-to-find supplies with the text. This exception is noted in the course description.
- The names and addresses of at least two supply sources are provided with every course.
If you are interested in developing a course or would like more information, please contact Maria Hall, GCC Chair, at gcc@egausa.org.
