Do you what's on the menu for the fall session? It is actually a more hands on class. There are about 12-15 women who attend and they are at all different levels, so the instructor goes around from table to table helping as needed. It really isn't a instruction type of class, but rather a do-it-yourself and the instructor is there to assist. |

Gender: Female I am glad for you that you are able to get lessons now and for to get out of the house, but the fact that is stated, that it is only for woman is in my opinion quite discriminating and I do hope that it is a way of wrinting and that she (the teacher) allows male pupils as well. The making of clothes is after all original a male job and now that we have started to become more emancipated it would be a bad thing to turn the tables around, wouldn't it? With kind regards,

| I was surprised when I read that, that she was allowed to advertise females only. You can't do that here. Even if you require someone for a position of work you can not advertise the position and say Female or Male assistant required. So that did really surprised me she was able to put in her add the gender she wanted to teach. |

I agree, it seems a very strange posting in this day and age.
