EDUCATION/CULTURE--PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS ----------------------------------------------------------------- Professional workshops and seminars are part of the offerings of courses at the Nova Scotia Centre for Craft and Design this fall. Whether it's to fine tune a professional image, create a better work space or let the world know about your craft, all this and more is offered at the centre. Stephen Zwerling will lead a workshop on How to Photograph Your Craft, an important skill for professional craft people, as they apply for jurying or submit their product for publications and advertising. A pair of young architects, graduates of the Technical University of Nova Scotia, will offer help in creating an environment that is compatible to the activity that takes place there, and a number of business owners will share their experiences in running a successful craft business. Even the Internet has entered the crafts and Brian Segal will discuss the "do's and don'ts" in using the Internet as a marketing tool. As always the centre offers many courses both for the beginner and the experienced in a wide variety of crafts. Woodworking, pottery, stained glass, jewellery/enamelling, fibre arts such as weaving, spinning, knitting, dyeing, quilting, and rug hooking are well represented in the course offerings this fall. A new feature this year is that a number of courses will be held in the daytime on weekends, appealing to those people who do not like to go out at night. People who work on weekdays, you can still take part in the lunch hour classes in Woven Christmas Decorations led by the well-known basketweaver, Joleen Gordon.
