Private Tuition
If you're keen to get started with PMC and none of the class dates work for you - think about a one-one workshop. This day can be tailored but you can usually cover the projects and techniques taught in the introductory class in 4 hours. A session of four hours costs $160 plus materials, a six hour day is $240 plus materials. Email me if you're interested in this intensive class
If you have a group of 3 or 4 who are interested in taking a class together contact me to arrange a date.
