Description

Two friends enjoying their time together in one of Chuck Bender's private hands-on classes.Private hands-on classes are now available on a limited basis. Whether you want a solo day in the shop with Chuck, or youโ€™ve got a friend or two that wants to spend a week making a unique project, you can now schedule your custom class.

The time in the shop is yours, use it the way you want. If youโ€™d like to focus on developing your carving skills, a bit of inlay, or finish that wedding gift you started five years ago, the time is now.

Private Hands-on Classes

Up to three people can participate in Chuck's Private Hands-on Classes.Most people look at my class schedule and either find the project or skills class that inspires them, but maybe youโ€™re the kind of person that likes to take the path less traveled. Perhaps I offered the class you desperately wanted to take at a time that wouldnโ€™t work for you, or the course was full. With the introduction of my Private Hands-on Classes, you can now customize your time in the shop more than ever before.

Choose from one day to an entire week. You can include a friend or spouse for the same price. Or bring a couple of friends at a special discounted price. Itโ€™s easy to schedule your private hands-on class. Scroll through the calendar above and click on the start date that works for you. From the dropdown selectors choose the number of days (from 1 to 5) youโ€™d like for your class, then add yourself and a second or third person. Book Now!

Chuck will be in touch to discuss exactly how to customize your private hands-on class.
