Which session should I pick?

There are two options for this course.  One is Thursday evenings starting May 11th and one is Saturday evenings starting in June.  The Saturday course is condensed into four longer classes instead of eight shorter classes, but they are both 16 hours total and participants will learn the same things in each.  Both take place at the wrench’s education space at 95 Gertie St.
