I'm afraid this may seem selfish, but is there any policy reason that
this has to be a formal Pennsic class? This could be done as simply
a private class if these other concerns get to be too much. If Phlip
wants to open the class to others not currently on the sign-up list
this might reguire some kind of sign-up in her camp, though.

As an educational tool, closing the class does have disadvantages. I
can easily see both sides of this problem. Sigh. I've missed a number
of classes at Pennsic because the classes were full when I finally
got there to sign up. Sometimes just observing is almost as good. But
somewhere in my garage (unless my wife has thrown it out) is a plastic
garbage bag of unwashed sheep wool that I bought after observing a
class on making felted shoes three years ago. Never got around to 
washing the wool and then making the shoes. And if I ever find that 
bag, I probably won't even open it, at least not inside. :-)

But I want to do this class.

Phlip, I guess it is your call.
