For everyone who has admired the work of my students and inquired about taking classes, I’m going to post this information:
At this time, I don’t have any cowboy boot making classes planned, nor do I plan to schedule any in the near future. When I teach a class, the student takes off work, rents a hotel, and drives or flies here–it’s a significant expense for them, and I don’t have an assistant teacher. If I get sick or if a member of my family gets sick, it’s very stressful for me to teach full-time AND handle personal stuff that needs to be done. I agreed to have a student here for five weeks once, and both of my husband’s brothers died during that five week span. As much as I love teaching, doing it with no backup plan is exhausting and I’m taking a break.
I do have an 8 DVD of my entire boot making class available. Paige is using it right now to build her second pair of boots and she says it’s very comprehensive and thorough. 🙂
I am just very thankful that I had the wonderful opportunity to attend your class of bootmaking and share time with you, Dale, the girls and of course the llamas.
I’m happy you took my class also! We all enjoyed getting to know you.
