General Information
The class schedule is pretty full, but if you are interested in teaching at NOWM, a couple of slots are open, and we wouldn't mind a class or two on Friday night. Contact the class coordinator. All sorts of classes are desired, but hands-on, make-and-take style classes are desired most of all!
Note that our Artisans Row will also include instruction on a less formal basis.
