As a bonus for those who sign up for classes, Harper’s will present $10 gift certificates for class registrations over $40 and $5 gift certificates for classes costing $39 or less. These will be redeemable on the day of the class only—one gift certificate per student (may not be applicable to some classes). Challenge yourself and take a new class!
