This workshop is a collaboration between WETCC Extension and WETCC Cultural Coordinator. The WETCC Cultural Department was formed in response to the WETCC strategic goal 4.A. Increase Culture on Campus.  The department coordinates cultural activities, training, and ceremonies to enhance student learning. It also increases cultural adeptness to current and future employees of the college through professional development opportunities.

The September response and participation for skirt making was overwhelming so we added an October class is being offered.
