All of our classes are by appointment only. Maximum 6 students per class. If a lace class (other than listed here) is wanted, please call the museum at (408) 730-4695 and we will try to arrange the class. All of our teachers are volunteers, and their classes are flexible. Some teach at their homes.
Students are responsible for finishing their projects when taking lessons. We advise you to allow time for at least an hour of uninterrupted time at home for homework.
