This is the schedule of recent or upcoming baking classes.
If there is a class you would like to take at a current location, contact the appropriate classroom coordinator or customer service and place your request.
I don’t tell the locations what classes to offer. They choose from my existing classes which they will offer.
There are currently no baking classes scheduled nor planned for 2012.
Classes are usually on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.

I was invited to teach my oven-building class in New York City, but not enough interest was generated in time.
I had a good oven-building class at Tunnel Mill on 05/05/2012.
There may be other oven-building classes in 2012, but there is nothing else firm yet.
I was informed by the supervisor of Silverwood Park that they would no longer host my class.
Tunnel Mill has no more available dates in 2012, so the next class there would be in 2013.
If you are interested in hosting an oven-building class, check the class requirements. This can be a great way to have help building an oven for yourself, and getting help paying for it as well.
Alternatively, if you already have a big pile of 9-inch straight firebricks, and you don’t mind if they get a bit used, you have the most important ingredient for holding the class.
I am especially interested in additional locations in or near the Twin Cities, but I will consider more distant locations if requirements can be met. It could be a good way for you or your organization to generate some publcity.
July 2011: I have started an e-mail conversation with the North House Folk School to see if they are interested in hosting my oven-building class as well. No word back from them as of 05/01/2012. Apparently they are not interested.
