CLASSES ON DEMAND!
These classes can be arranged between teacher and student in many stitches/techniques. A lot of beginning stitches are in this category along with many others. Some teachers are available only on certain days of the week and some require more than one student. You will need to contact the shop (423-509-1907) to discuss which teacher and class you want. Classes in general will cost $25 per student (+ supplies) except for some specialty classes (which will cost more). If you have an idea of a class that you want to take, but hasn't been offered, please contact me for discussion. Most classes last about 2-2.5 hours. Some can be taught impromptu in the shop upon your arrival, but most not. Most of our classes will have kits available.
I would like the Classes on Demand to be during the week, but I know that's not always possible. We can also do Girls Night Out, group classes, and parties for larger groups for a cheaper cost per person (groups over 8).
Several teachers have several classes, so I'll list them under their names after the first few. We reserve the right to invite other students to an arranged class unless you ask us not to. This makes it a bit easier for our teachers to make the trip over to the shop for more than just one student.
