Join us for a very special event! Make your own OPSG item or items! You will be part of an immersive learning event where you will use industrial sewing equipment, professional sewing tools, follow standardized production processes and learn to sew from someone with over 40 years of sewing experience. You will not be treated like a new student trying to get through the first day of school. At an OPSG learning event you will be treated as newly hired OPSG employee in training and we need you to be up to speed ASAP! You’re coming to learn and enjoy that learning experience and we are here to see that happen.

During this class you will get invaluable information and experience. You will the sewing tips, tricks, techniques and skills we use at OPSG every day. You will be part of a first hand INTENSIVE sewing instruction experience and learn exactly what it takes to meet OPSG’s quality standards!

So, Come and be an OPSG Employee for a day!

OUR NEXT EVENT IS:

PONCHO CLASS! Make your own waxed sail cloth OPSG Duck Butt Poncho. The OPSG Duck Butt Poncho design is based on the ponchos used by the US military in WWII. They will cover you, your pack and gear. They can also be deployed as a shelter. Additionally, the OPSG poncho boosts some modifications that regular ponchos do not. OPSG ponchos have a hood hole flap to help keep weather out when deployed as a shelter and a recent redesign includes upgrades that only class participants will see until general production starts. So class attendees get to make it before you can buy it!

* EXCLUSIVE * If the class is fully registered by JULY 15 ponchos will be made of WOODLAND CAMO print cloth! Otherwise fabric will be a traditional woodsier color likely brown or green.

Disclaimer: Safety, is our primary focus.

While participants will not actually be an OPSG employee, you will be working and participating in this class in our actual production facility. You will not be part of a watered down made for general consumption program. You will be learning in a real working production facility. While our facility is as safe as it can be, it is a working manufacturing facility. Subsequently, as any reasonable person would expect it is very possible to get hurt. Therefore, you will be required to follow all rules and directions as though you were an OPSG employee especially concerning safety. In the event there is an issue where a participant is not following OPSG rules and directions in good faith (as determined solely by OPSG staff) you will be asked to leave and be removed from the event. Participants asked to leave or removed will not receive a refund. OPSG reserves the right to expel anyone from the class. We will not discuss the situation or negotiate with anyone asked to leave. After being asked to leave if a participant fails to do so immediately and quickly authorities will be called to assist their exit. Also, if anyone asked to leave or removed returns for any reason the authorities will be contacted.

THIS IS A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY!
