Classes at White Bluffs 

 

White Bluffs Class Instructors receive a special

“Teacher Training Program”.

 

Project Classes, -  a project is completed in the class. We believe that we have too many unfinished projects. At White Bluffs, if you take a project class, you will finish the project in the class or you will come back until it is finished and you may take the class again for free. 

 

Process Classes, -  a process is learned. There is no expectation of a completed project, however, completed projects utilizing the learned process will be available to spark your imagination. 

 

Five Buck Classes -  best described as hour long classes to learn a cool new way to do something. A schedule of these “quickie classes” will be posted and we are always interested in your suggestions. 

 

Master from Afar Classes. conducted by nationally known masters. These classes will utilize our facility, but will provide their own policies, pricing and procedures.

 

Guild Sponsored Classes, 

our guilds need a place to hold their classes. White Bluffs will provide a well-equipped place. As with the Master Classes, the Guilds will have their own policies, pricing and procedures.
