I've really enjoyed this thread and wondered if it would be feasible to have the same type category as wood suppliers? Maybe a list with a comment section for those who recommend various schools. | |

Don't forget the classes at NCSU's Arts and Crafts Center.
They have a MAJOR woodworking shop, with classes covering a broad area of woodworking.

Everyone should mark Rogue River Studios of Fine Woodworking in Wilmington from the posted lists. I have called and e-mailed several times with no responce. Being from Wilmington also, I went by the address last week. Found a nice building (closed up with no reason posted on the door). All that was inside was a copier. I guess they only make copies of furniture!!!!! | |

I will state here that Country Workshops is worth the money and time to attend. Drew is a very good teacher (but he has no sense of humor) and gets the idea or point across very well. And then there is Louise and her cooking........... nuff said there.
Whenever you might go, dress for the weather. I went up on a Sunday in shirt sleeves and on Tuesday, it snowed, and man was it cold. Didn't take a heavy coat, but I survived.
I really enjoyed it. after several years of buying tools from Drew, I finally got to take a class. His web site is really thorough. www.countryworkshops.org | |

I am enrolled in my third woodturning class at the Davidson Ice house. As a new turner the experience was invaluable. The only way to start turning is to get some instruction. (My opinion.)
David Kelnor (sp.), as well as others, teach ongoing classes for would be new turners that are excellent. You don't need to own a single turning tool to begin, but that is a slippery slope as is evidenced by my own turning tool buying addiction.
I am fortunate enough to have a flexible schedule right now so I did take a Monday morning class, but the classes are also offered at night and occasionallly there is a one night demonstration that could also be helpful.
Ice house is a non-profit, so I hope there prices are in line with what you might expect at some other schools too.
Hope this review helps interest new turners and anyone looking to develop skills. It has been a great experience.

I hear that there's some hack out in Hickory teaching classes. 
In fact, I'm scheduled for one this weekend and I'll return with pictures and a full report!
