Seminars

The War Eagle Seminar begins on the first Monday of June. Top quality instructors are recruited for the faculty. As has been the case for several years, students enrolled in the two week woodcarving course apply for and are assigned to a different instructor for each week.The cost for each one week course (5 days of instruction) is $100.00. Most people take two separate courses during the seminar at $100.00 per course. One week courses are also available. One-half of the fee is required when registering, and the balance must be paid by May 1.

The War Eagle Seminar is an educational program of the Ozark Arts & Crafts Fair Association, sponsors of the nationally-known War Eagle Fair™. Writing of the early years of the Seminar, former Executive Director Blanche Elliott said,

“An unmatched opportunity was offered for the amateur or the professional to enlarge his artistic talents and improve his techniques at a very reasonable cost. To some, the seminar was a profitable vacation in a secluded countryside, knee-deep in June. To others, it was two weeks of uninterrupted painting, whittling, weaving or potting that was difficult to come by at home. Out of it all came a fellowship of kindred spirits born of the joy of creating beauty with hands and heart....

If enrollment for any class falls below ten, the class may be canceled and the fee refunded or applied at the applicant's direction to any other available class. All refunds are subject to a $20 administrative fee. No refunds for cancellations after April 15 for any reason. Classes meet Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a break for lunch.

For a modest fee, students may elect to use a primitive camping site on War Eagle Mills Farm, where the Seminar is held; a limited number of electrical hookups for motor homes can be obtained on a first come, first served basis. Motels, resorts and campgrounds are available along nearby Beaver Lake and in the cities of Rogers, Springdale, Fayetteville, Huntsville and Eureka Springs. Students under 16 years of age must obtain approval from the Executive Director and the instructor before admittance is granted. Proof of age is required of all students 17 and under.
