"Dear Kent,
Thank You again for a Workshop that I wish I took years ago. After 25 years of struggling with metalwork, I now am armed with a priceless arsenal of new weapons (and wisdom!) to help me beat the many brick walls that will no longer jake me. You're incredible, and now, I'm unstoppable!! And thank you for spoiling us with the excellent home-cooking. Bless you."
Ken W.

* All workshops currently take place at our "homebase shop" in Nevada City, CA.

Note: While the format may seem similar for many of these presentations, the actual experience varies tremendously. Participants are questioned prior to attendance, and the workshop is then designed for them based upon their interests and skill level. Please remember that there is a LOT to absorb, and many students repeat the trainings for a more advanced experience. Individual projects are encouraged, as many times they can provide a unique and rewarding lesson otherwise unavailable.

Schedule subject to change. Call 530-292-3506 or email today for more information or to make your reservation.
