Old School courses are hosted by the Mission to Seafarers in the “A” listed Flying Angel building at 401 E Waterfront Road. We are thrilled to continue a thriving collaboration with the Mission. Their building is the perfect “lab” for both technical and theoretical sessions. Parts of the building will be examined and rehabilitated as part of this interactive, hands-on course. |
