I like to take classes mainly because I live alone and it get me out of the house. I usually take a class on something small and unusual. I have taken a class on Mondo Bags twice, it was inexpensive and the class was small. I just finished that the project was a pick-up truck or a cow, both were wimsecal and so much fun to do. Next I may do the Texas Long Horn cow. I don't think I would ever spend a lot of money on a class that was a big project, like the others I would rather have the video then you can work at your own pace.
