The cost of the class is $250, but we are offering a limited number of subsidies for Coal Creek Canyon residents and people who commit to volunteering at Saws and Slaws events. If you qualify, then the cost for you will be $125 per person for the 2-day training. These fees help us cover the costs of the instructors and our insurance for the class, so your support is greatly appreciated! You can also work off the entire classroom fee with labor in our regular Saws & Slaws events! Ask Jody for more details.
