If you've been to a class, what did you like? What would you have liked
better? If you've taught such class, do you have any tips regarding
anything?

I've had classes with a few of the experts: Rude Osolnik-two students,
lots of close supervision and some great demonstrations and
discussions by a dedicated teacher turner.

Russ Zimmerman (my first): no down in Florida, formerly in Vermont. -
two students, lots of close supervision and demonstrations and helpful
suggestions.

Johannes Michaelson class of two. Lots of demonstrating, supervising,
explicating.

David Ellsworth: FIVE man class--too large. Disappointingly little
individual attention. More philosophical discussions than detailed
explanations.

Having the teacher there at your shoulder to help with body position,
tool movements as well as help with sharpening is a sine qua non
