sign ups will be available at the event for those classes with openings until
they are filled.

He will be teaching the Merry Rose Arm Guard Saturday 2:30-6:30pm
Youth are permitted to take the class, but must be accompanied by an adult.

other if there is room (we’re trying to get people their first
choice at least, but there are a lot of you:-).
Students, The instructor asks that if you have a pair of leather
shears that you bring them and that if you are making a demi-gauntlet
you contact him ahead of time with your size as he will be pre-cutting
them.

schedules and make sure this will still work with the classes you have
decided to take. If your schedule can still stay intact for what you
wanted find the message in your Sent mail and return it with

PARENTAL REMINDER:
Sending your child to a class is an individual choice that needs to be
tailored to each individual child. If you do not feel your
child is emotionally ready to be separated from you to attend the whole
class it is important that you choose to either attend the class with
your child (no class fees are charged for parents attending classes
with their child) or choose not to have your child enrolled in that
class. There are play activities available during the course
of the day that will engage and delight your child if they are
emotionally ready for that with you there.
That having been said, Pied Piper is NOT a baby-sitting
service. We do not potty train, change diapers, make bottles,
or otherwise baby-sit. We are here to teach and engage
children in learning activities that are fun and interactive so that
everyone may learn in a safe and creative manner.
