If you have taken classes prior to 2011, please keep in mind that there has been some re-configuring. Parts of my previous class Twisting, Rolling & Forming have been incorporated into my Current Classes. You can still hop back into the series where you left off, but please keep in mind that the tools kits have changed. If there are any gaps in your understanding of techniques please ask questions during class. If you have not taken a class recently, practicing your skills before taking another class is highly recommended.
