Essential Tips for Online Registration
Please Read Before Registering!

1. Check the workshop schedule on this website to see which workshops have openings - We will do our best to keep the listings up to date!

2. Have 2nd and 3rd choice workshops in mind – We have some very popular workshops that fill up very quickly so please have some alternates in mind before you begin registration in case your first choice is full.

3. Move through the registration pages quickly – Please complete your registration and move forward. Do not use the ‘back’ button on your browser or go back to the Black Sheep Gathering webpage to review descriptions. This action disturbs the database and creates longer processing times for everyone.

4. Click on the “Continue” button only once to move to the next registration page -- It may take 10+ seconds to move to the next page.

5. You are not registered for a workshop until you pay and check out – WORKSHOP CHOICES ARE NOT YOURS UNTIL YOU COMPLETE THE PAYMENT INFORMATION AND CLICK “FINISH MY REGISTRATION.” There may be several other people registering for the exact same workshop while you are registering.

6. Never use the ‘back’ button on your web browser.

7. Once you have read the instructions, click “Register Now” to begin your registration.
