Spring Painting and Tack Classes Coming Soon!

I'm currently putting together my Spring catalog of model horse painting and tack making classes, which will go into effect in February.

Last "session" was my first time offering a formal list of classes.  I learned a great deal about what kinds of classes people would like to attend, and also when they would like to take them.  I have made several changes and additions to the offerings, which I hope will allow more people to match their desired class to the time that they are available.

A few of the changes and additions include:

• Open scheduling for each class; you choose both the subject matter and  the date when you would like to take your class! 
• All classes will be designed for affordable, private one-on-one instruction, with discounts for all participant if more students do sign up for that particular class time (making this a great opportunity to come with a friend).
• Availability of weekday, daytime class times, ideal for students who work on the weekends. 
• Full weekend availability, from Friday or Saturday through the end of Sunday, for those who wish to travel . This will also be ideal for those who wish to complete a full project, such as painting a horse from start to finish.

Need extra time to make travel plans? Or did you miss out on the class of your choice due to scheduling conflicts last session? 

Please e-mail me at karbee9@aol.com if you would like to get a head start on scheduling a weekend in the Chicago area (classes are held at my home in St. Charles, IL), or if you just want to make sure to get the day of your class scheduled on both your calendar and mine. 

Looking forward to the classes!
