Class Details
At Oak & Stone, we typically size our classes with just one or two students per instructor to ensure deep, personalized attention. Our offerings range from focused weekend workshops to multi-day intensives, designed for your comfort and hands-on growth. Explore our three core course formats below.
To get started, schedule a brief consultation with our instructor, Michael. You’ll discuss your goals, review your experience level, and select the right class format and convenient dates for you!
