EEEk! I had not seen that LA times posting (which just copied and pasted text from our calendar at the aquarium) and the picture is certainly NOT the one from our mailing. Good ID on the carving big bro! I tell ya, I wish I had the carving chops of tiki ray - his are one-of-a-kind true pieces of art, but they really should have done their research and acquired a picture of one of mine. I'm assuming they just used that picture because it was readily available to them?

Ray - I'm sorry you got thrown into the mix without proper Kudos to your work. Honestly, I had nothing to do with the LA times posting this and to tell you the truth I wish they hadn't. We filled up the class after the first week that it was advertised in our calendar, which is also why I didn't advertise it here on TC. Thanks for the kind words - you are top class in my book! (always have been too!)

Sorry about that Capt., hopefully time will allow another class in the spring or winter. I'll let ya know!

Thanks for the pictures kiki! You did do a great job on that tiki! it's all you!!!! (PS-Mieko was there helping out that day too!!!)

We've been offering these classes for several years now and have found that the small class size allows for more individualized instruction, which in turn gives more techniques to students and makes them feel more comfortable with their progress. I've found that 10 is the magic number and because people are paying for these classes I want to make sure that I am available to answer as many questions as possible.

If you're interested in possibly signing up for one of these carving classes, give me a PM with your email and I'll add it to our "waiting list" so we can email you first when we decide on another date for a class. You can have first dibs!
