| Any hand or machine class
can be designed for your group or
situation. I am an experienced teacher that
uses a hands-on, walk around approach. I
specialize in precision, rotary and machine
techniques but can teach any hand or machine
techniques. I am used to teaching a variety
of skill levels in each class. I can make
things challenging for the more experienced
student while not swamping the beginner. I
can accept 20 - 24 students in each class. |
