I have been asked to teach at Sawtooth again next year and I'm having to really think about it.
I like the studio there and the lathes are nice, good tools, nice space.
But I like my home shop too and I don't like driving into the City.
So, I'm asking for your opinions.
Price of the class would be about the same. Which means I'll be going up a little starting in January 2023.
(1) If you were going to take one of my lathe classes would you rather do it at Sawtooth with two or three other folks.
(2) Or would you rather take a one on one class specifically tailored to your needs with the instructors full attention.
I have room for one other family member if you like to do things together.
When I teach at home I am more relaxed, better prepared, have all my tools and supplies at hand.
I can prepare lunch, go out, order in, or skip it.
You can bring your own tools for better familiarity, evaluation, sharpening, practice...
I can stay as long as we need within reason, add other instruction, change direction if needed or go back over the skills
until you are fully comfortable with doing it yourself. You can choose to continue the project or make variations at a later date.
Skill building in higher levels can be added.
There is no peer pressure to hurry along or fear of asking questions.
My class at my home is all about you and helping you be a better crafts builder.
You choose the class, you set the pace, you decide when you have enough.
Anyway, that is my thinking and I would like to know what you think.
