Live, interactive workshops with Ronald Layman, not a pre-recorded video. You buy a seat. You are on Zoom with me for three hours while the finish is happening. You can stop me and ask questions. This is not a course you buy now and watch later.
After class, enrolled students get the recording of that session. No expiration date. The replay is for people who registered — it is not sold separately.
Each class is three hours, capped at six students. Work is on a four-by-four panel with baseboard and crown. Price: $250. Private classes available on request.
