THINGS TO KNOW:
Let me just say teaching these classes is one of my absolute favorite things to do, and I'm looking forward to meeting you. A few notes for your safety and comfort are below ( I err on the side of caution):
1. Avoid wearing anything with loose sleeves. We will be working with torches! Also, my recommended attire for safety is full length pants and close-toed shoes - make sure jeans cover the top of the shoes.
2. Be sure that your hair is pulled back. Again...torches! And also the rotary tool. I may or may not have gotten my waist-length hair wrapped up in a Dremel in the past...
3. If you need reading glasses while reading, I would recommend bringing a pair.
4. Face coverings are optional. We will be using flux and diluted sodium bisulphate. Our space will be well-aerated, but I want you to be aware of these. Don't let these intimidate you - this is comparable to learning how to cook or learning how to sew. They are just new tools. Knowledge is power. :)
5. I will have a small selection of stones in various colors for you to choose from.
6. Snacks and beverages are okay.
Class will be at the Sanctuary/Downtown DIY, 195 S Main, Boerne, TX, I will have a waiver for you to sign upon arrival.
