Remember Ray also does Private instruction. He has both a daily rate and a weekly rate. Ray’s daily rate for private one on one instruction is $500 per day. His weekly rate is $2,000 for a five day work week. Ray will help you with whatever skills you wish to work on during private instruction sessions. To schedule a private instruction session contact Ray by email at [email protected] or by phone 314 808 2508.
Ray is also offering “Semi Private” instruction. How does this work? This is a way for two friends to get one one one instruction from Ray while splitting the cost. Semi Private instruction is tow people sharing a private instruction session. The cost for a five day block of semi private instruction is $2,500. If you have a friend and the two of you want to advance your skills or both of you want to get a good solid start at engraving, the two of you can schedule a session with Ray and split the cost making it $1,250 each for the five day block of time. Ray has done this a few times in the past and it has worked out quite well so he is offering it as a regular offering at the school.
