2010 SUMMER INTO FALL CLASSES

ABOUT OUR CLASSES

DESIGNED FOR YOU TO GET THE MOST OUT OF WHATEVER MACHINE YOU HAVE!
We try to limit our classes to 6 students for the basic introductory classes and 4 students for the project classes.
We can not run a class with fewer than 3 students. You are signed up when you pay for the class.
If we do not have enough students a week before the class starts, we will either cancel it or postpone the start date.
If we cancel you get your money back in full. If you cancel less than a week before the class starts we do not refund. More than one week you get a refund less a modest cancellation fee.
Every class has a list of items for you to bring or purchase in order to participate fully in the class. Please be sure to get a class list before you come so that you will be prepared.

We also have private classes available. Tuition is $25.00 for the first hour and $20.00 for each additional hour per session.
