This is a note-sheet that I prepared for classes I've taught in person. I don't expect it to make sense ahead of class, but hope it will be helpful information after the first class.

These are instructions I prepared for the frame you will be receiving by mail. It is the "owner's manual" to be included with each sprang frame shipped by the frame-makers. Again, I do not expect it to make sense before class, but hope it will be useful after we talk about warping.

The sprang frame may have been rattled around a bit in the mail. You might want to check the cross on the frame before class, Monday, April 4. The video at the left guides you through the process.
