Jerry Rockwell's Calendar for 2009
My schedule for 2009 will be updated periodically as new classes, workshops,
concerts, or festival appearances are confirmed.
For those of you who have asked about individual workshops: yes,
I can develop a master class tailored to your skill level. And you
might want to combine a day (or up to a week) of intensive study with
a visit to our rural Appalachian foothills.
We have always enjoyed arranging entertaining and productive visits
for our out-of-town and out-of-state guests (you will need to call a
month
or two in advance). If you're driving through Southeastern
Ohio on the Appalachian Highway, call to see if we're in before
stopping by. We are definitely NOT a typical retail shop.
