The year is nearly 1/4 over; and I’m just posting my teaching schedule. I was sure I did it already, but find no trace of it. And this was going to be the year I got organized…
This is all of the schedule for right now. There’s one more carved box class in October, have to finalize it & post it. Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking. There will be some Plymouth CRAFT stuff late in the season; I’ll post updates when I have them.
