MIA Until January...

I know this blog is so new it has few - if any - followers yet.

Still, I just wanted to tell those who might find it that I am busy traveling and that is what's keeping things from being updated here. My overall plans for what happens here are still evolving, but until January nothing will happen at all. Sorry!

I wish you the very best in 2010. Happy Holidays!

Winter 2010 Stone Carving Class Dates

I finally have dates for the Winter (and Spring!) 2010 Stone Carving Classes:

• As always, class is on Tuesday nights from 7:30pm - 10pm. The location is the Alma Street Studio. (See the course catalog. Enter on the alley side, not from Alma street itself.)
   
• The Winter 2010 catalog should be online on Friday, 12/4/09.  See: http://www.pacificartleague.org/
   
• Course registration begins on Saturday, 12/5/09.  Yes, one day after the catalog comes out.  At least it's a full month before the next session actually starts this time, though.  Call the league office for details or use their online registration system.
   
• As with the last quarter, we're in 6 week sessions.  The dates I have now are:
  
• Winter 2010, session A, 1/5/10 - 2/9/10, $140
• Winter 2010, session B, 2/16/10 - 3/23/10, $140
• Spring 2010, session A, 4/6/10 - 5/11/10, Cost TBD
• Spring 2010, session B, 5/18/09 - 6/22/10, Cost TBD
 
• At one point they were giving a discount for purchasing two 6-week sessions at once.  I don't know if they are still doing that or not, but it should be an option this time around.  Ask the office if you register for all 12 weeks this Winter and they don't mention it.

Remember: we strongly suggest new students plan on 12 weeks (minimum) to complete their first (simple!) piece. It just takes that much time to get things done with hand tools.
