WORKSHOP tips & FAQs

The best way to book a Crafting Alaska tour workshop is to do so via our online portal. If you have questions or want to speak to Mary of Savannah before booking, see our contact us page. We will get back to you as soon as we can.
Reservation must be paid in full at the time of booking.

Mary and Savannah share studio space and alternate workshop availability.
If the workshop you want to book is not available on the day you want to book it, contact us. It may be possible to accommodate scheduling requests.

When booking online our small class sizes (ten for beading, six for quilting) are designed to ensure students in different parties get all the personalized instruction they need.
If you are booking as a large family or group of friends, reach out! We are happy to expand our class size to accommodate your needs.

Please turn on your cell phone. We have your number and we will call you if you have not arrived at the workshop on time.
We may also try to contact you in the unlikely event your cruise ships schedule changes. We also ask that you check your phone or watch time against the ship clock/local time zone. If Ketchikan is your first stop, we are an hour behind your last port of call.

We we provide all the crafting supplies your need to complete the project.
You should bring a magnifying glass or reading glasses if you regularly use them. Our shop is very well lit but beads and stitches are small!

If you are docking in the Port of Ward Cove, allow extra time to travel to and find our shop in downtown Ketchikan. Complimentary shuttle service begins as soon as the ship arrives and runs between Ward Cove and Berth 4 in downtown Ketchikan; the drive takes about 20 minutes each way.
The last shuttle from Downtown Ketchikan, Berth 4 (DT), usually departs about 1.5 hours before your ship’s listed departure. Shuttle buses run continuously throughout the day, but please allow at least 30 minutes to reach downtown. The shuttle departs from the far end of the Welcome Center.
