Class Requirements: We will be handling sharp hooks, and potentially knives, so students will have to be aware of their surroundings. This class is more geared towards 9 and up, but if you believe your 8 yr old is ready, I am more than happy to teach.
FYI, there will be an adult helping in this class.
Materials Needed: If you have a pole, whether it works or not, please bring it in. If you do not, I will be providing some.
