So, where did everyone go?
Many of our instructors are still teaching in the area and would love to see a familiar face at one of their classes.

Private Classes
We would be pleased to arrange a private class for you, at your convenience. You may schedule a class for almost any project with one of our former instructors. Please e-mail us with the project you are interested in, the size of your group, and your experience level and we will be happy to connect with the appropriate instructor. Note, that while we can certainly assist with many projects, often published projects are copyrighted and may require the designer’s permission to be taught as a group class.
