Additional Class Comments:

I will have my personal (favorite) shot plates and 2 hammers like I use for the plates. I don’t recommend that you bring random, additional shot plates for this class, because we won’t have extra class time for trouble-shooting different shot plates! More info will come in a pre-class email. Feel free to message me in advance of class if you have questions about this! I’ll be teaching an evening class where we explore many different shot plates!
