Choose your own adventure!

Because I teach such a wide range of subjects, and can never be sure exactly what classes folks are most interested in and when, I offer both scheduled classes and custom classes.
With custom classes, you choose the topic and get together a group of people eager to learn ( I can also post the classes on my schedule if you'd like them to be open to more than just your group) and I teach the class either at my site in Hood River or at your location. As a class organizer, not only do you get the class you'd most like when and where you want it, but if you bring together enough people to meet the minimum class size, you get your class for no charge except the materials fee. Minimum class size varies depending on the class and the distance.
Depending on the subject, I also occasionally teach custom one-on-one class, which are, understandably, a more expensive option.

Pricing:
For most classes, the rate is $35/person for a half day, $65/person per day for the first day, $55/person for additional days, plus materials costs and a standard mileage reimbursement for travel expenses if I travel to you. For those classes which require significant preparation before the class, the cost is higher, depending on time spent. When the class minimum has been met, the price per student decreases with more numbers up to the class maximum. Contact me for more details about specific classes.
