Nick,

I have held the class a number of times. Recently, the classes have all been full. In my post class surveys, I seem to get very good feedback. So far, I have not gotten a single complaint, apart from one or two who wished we had spent more time on washing.

I am posting my next class which is on July 26. The July 19 class is full.

PM me if you have any other questions or want more info.
