Class options!

I love to teach classes and do birthday parties! Here's a list of classes I have offered, and would be happy to teach again. I usually teach smaller groups (12 students; ages 12 and up) , so people get lots of personal attention, but I can be flexible. If you're interested in having me come and teach a class or birthday party, feel free to email ( inediblejewelry (at) gmail (dot) com ). If you'd like to learn another kind of food that's not listed below, contact me and I'll see what I can do!
