Workshops are held on the Oxford campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio unless otherwise stated. This academic and rural community is 35 miles north of Cincinnati and 45 miles southwest of Dayton. All registered participants will receive a parking pass along with additional information concerning parking.

If you're planning to fly, do not schedule flights until your workshop has been confirmed. At that time, schedule the Cincinnati or Dayton International Airport as your destination. A university vehicle may be available to pick up and return participants to the airport at designated times. If you need transportation to and from the airport, it is suggested that you contact the CraftSummer office for our shuttle schedule before making final reservations.
