Well! Classes for February filled up so fast I didn’t really have time to post the schedule, but March is well on it’s way and there’s still room in most of the classes!! I’m only going to post the classes that have space left, but you can see what you’re missing out on in the calendar. Also, there is now a $10 general shop materials fee included in the cost of the classes. Regardless of the fee, some outside supplies may be required. Our official site is here. Myspace here.
Are you ready? Onward, friends!
