each of the past six years and is offering the advanced class to members

trying
to avoid covering the basics again, so even if you feel like your
knowledge
level is low, please feel free to participate -- there's just a limit to
the
time available for answering questions.

Simon Henderson has recently moved to the bay area from the Pacific North
West where he taught Permaculture with a special focus on bamboo. He has
had
extensive teaching experience and will work with Karl to be able to bring
individual attention to the bamboo craft element within the class.

2900 Smith Grade Road*
>>From 9:30 am-4 pm, Saturday, January 22, 2000.
