If you have a subscription to ChipChats, it has instructors schedules and class locations in the back.

If not you should subscribe; it is the best deal in woodcarving.
http://www.chipchats.org/
The Mar/Apr issue will have tons of information for carvers.

What I don't understand, is how they can get that much content for that little price. Best deal going.
