Greg,

    I recently enrolled in the lost wax casting class at The Arts Center
    in St. Petersburg, FL. theartscenter.org 

    I never have signed any waiver or been asked to. Of course I signed
    up online so might have essentially signed a waiver by accepting some
    terms there. I gave up reading those things years ago so might have
    signed my life away or soul to the devil for all I know. 

    The Arts Center has a great jewlers studio with 16 benches and,
    close to if not, a full array of equipment. They also serve as an
    adjunct campus for Eckerd College for jewelry and other fine arts
    classes, hence the fully equipped studios. 

    You might think about teaching at a similar facility for starters.
    That way if any body or equipment gets messed up, it is on someone
    else's insurance policy. I know that sounds bad, but there are also
    benefits aside from those. More publicity, more equipment to go
    around, more parking, no one pilfering through your stash of stones
    or metals. Plus if you decide it's not your bag to teach, you can
    walk after the first term and the school/studio finds someone else so
    the students don't get left out to dry. 

    But then, I could be totally off base on all of that..... 

Nel
