I am offering a 3 hour class for beginners, it is a lot of fun and a lot of energy is expended. Typically, there is a quick overview of what is possible and then we jump in and get our hands dirty. I have projects prepared so that even first timers will get to go home with at least one finished piece. It is not uncommon for folks to go home with multiple pieces.
The 3 hour introductory class is $120 per person with a maximum of 6 students. I will provide all safety equipment, tools, and materials. Folks should wear cotton clothes that they don't mind getting dirty and closed toe ,preferably leather, shoes
If you don't have 6 I can often fill the remaining slots from my email list
Feel free to contact me with any of your questions.
