Rocking Horse Classes

Classes 2012

There have been major changes to the structure of classes since the move to Marangaroo in August last year , they are less formal and less structured .

One of the problems the student reported about the 3 day classes was they felt rushed and would have liked to have more time for sanding , The solution is flexibility if you need more time fine stay another day or two , the cost to stay is only $30  a day , and I am making horses all the time , and am happy to assist you in making your special horse.

Dates , as mentioned earlier are a lot more flexible now , You choose when you want to come and we can work out a time to suit us both ,  whether  its for 3 days or more does not have to include a weekend , Ideally during the warmer months as its rather chilly here in winter!!

Class size is still max of 4 students but as I am making horses all the time I am happy to have one student staying and getting one to one instruction.

Some HSC  students can make the horse over several weeks just visiting for instruction and guidance ,I have had other students that spend one day here then take the horse home to sand and then return a week or so later to complete their horse .

So the cost is still $2000 but you can work out the best time and if you wish to stay for longer youself . Partners are welcome, have a double with bathroom or two singles.

Have made many great friend through doing the course , many happy grandparents , and younger student amazed by their great work . Hope to see you soon.
