This page records for some vague historical purposes locations and dates of past oven-building classes. (Classes for 2010 are less precise because I wasn’t maintaining the web site at that time.)
For current classes, go here.

I was invited to teach my oven-building class in New York City, but not enough interest was generated in time.
There was also some interest on having a private class on Crane Island in Lake Minnetonka, but that didn’t happen in 2012.
I was informed by the supervisor of Silverwood Park that they would no longer host my class. However, Tim Reese at Gale Woods Farm Park agreed to hold the class there starting in the fall of 2012.
The late snowfalls and late spring resulted in the rescheduling of the classes orginally scheduled for 4/20, 5/4, 6/22, and 6/29.
Because the class on 5/11 in Prescott only had two people, that class has been canceled.
The class scheduled for 4/20 at Gale Woods Farm Park was rescheduled to 06/15.
The class scheduled for 5/4 at Tunnel Mill was rescheduled for 5/11.
The class scheduled for 6/20 at White Bear Center for the Arts was canceled.
The class scheduled for 6/27 at the Borner Farm Project was rescheduled for 07/20.
The dates below reflect those changes.
