Check at local night school,country fairs etc. I had been making stick for about 2-3 years when i got chatting to a chap at a country fair who had a stand. He runs courses twice a year,perhaps there is someone like that in your neck of the woods. Also get down to your local libary and see if you can get a book called Stickmaking A Complete Course by Andrew Jones & Clive George. This is agreat book with lots of photos,diagrams etc for allsorts of sticks for the beginner. The ISBN no is 1-86108-083-2. If i can work out this new fangled technology I will try and post some pics of my sticks.
