How can I tell if a class is full?

• Try to register for the class by clicking the Register link on a course description page. If the class is full the system will offer to wait list you - you can sign up for the wait list. If there are spaces on the course you can go ahead and register.

Explanation of Course Fees

• We charge a materials for most classes - this covers the cost of the wood and the time takes to prepare the kits. In some classes it will also cover the cost of dusts masks, abrasives, finishes etc.
• In project classes we will take you to the local lumberyard to select and purchase your lumber - we have negotiated a student discount.
