I just got an email from WS, here is what I copied and pasted. I am sure you can go to their website and look for these free classes. The ones that require reservations are an hour long...but still FREE. The other ones are only 15 minutes and do not require reservations.

The closest one to me is over 20 miles away, so there is no way I am driving that far for a 15 minute demo...and the hour long ones are only offered on SUNDAYS at 11:00, so I would have to miss church for that...

Anyhow, I just wanted to share this with you all!

Thank you for sharing this information! I love Williams-Sonoma and have always wanted to attend one of their classes. I didn't realize they offered free demonstrations and technique classes. I'll have to check out their website and see if there are any upcoming classes near me. It's a shame that the closest one to you is so far away, but maybe they'll expand their offerings in the future. Thanks again for sharing!
