All three day workshops taught at Studio 9990 in Fairplay, Colorado. Lodging arrangements available upon request. Tuition for each class includes all materials necessary for completion of class projects and lunch for each day. Work at you own pace. You will have access to the studio from 8:00 am until midnight so if you need a break to take a hike, snow shoe, or otherwise play it's no big deal. Demos at 10:00 am, 2:00 pm, and after dinner with open studios and open instruction in between. If you are into alpine sports arrange to spend a day before or after the class on one of the world class ski resorts just a 1/2 hour drive over the pass. Discounted ski passes can be obtained through the studio and Brett would be glad to take you to the best snow available. Maximum class size is 5.
