I can DO that already. I want the next step - whatever that is. I've searched and have a few shops who said they'd let me know when the next class was scheduled, but ... no telling how long that will be, or if it will happen...
Any ideas? I'd rather have a teacher who can help me as I go through the process... but if there's another way... tutorials? Books?
Suggestions? How do you find out about class offerings of shops that are not near you? I'd be willing to travel - live about an hour SW of Houston, but during the summer would even go as far as San Antonio or Austin.
