​Hello! I'm Rita Reade, a soldering instructor based in Hendersonville, NC.
My teaching style blends vintage and modern techniques.
I offer classes ranging from basic soldering with copper foil and lead-free solder to advanced sessions using thick gauge copper sheets.
Currently, classes are only private starting at $170.00.  That means 2 students max, class includes lunch.
Classes are from 10 am - 3 pm
I keep classes small to ensure each student receives my full attention.

Please check my soldering classes PAGE to view some of the projects.
