Thanks for sharing this, Woodreaux. I saw where Ian said it was coming. Great to see that. It’s up and running now. I might give it a try. I really hope they can make it financially sustainable. There is such a need for this sort of thing right now.

The course is really excellent. It's still being built-- which is ok with me, since the idea is that it's an ongoing workshop style school that will be created partly according to what the community requests. And Ian is extremely responsive to questions posted on the class page or as direct messages.

Here's a better link directly to the course for anyone interested in signing up. So far, they have covered quite a lot of ground in just a few weeks, and videos are often made in response to member requests. I expect the content and the community to continue to grow.

I'm in this and it's very good content. It comes in slow and steady drips but it's quite indepth and the depth of experience that Ian Sweetman has is pretty impressive. He has a 2 man shop in Hertfordshire doing true best quality work under his own name and for the trade, as they all do. It's a lot of fun and they're extremely upfront and open to any question you can think of. No secrets or witchcraft.
