The Foundry Lives On

November 26, 2010

We are happy to announce that we have a new home! We will be leaving the Community Center come Dec 1st and moving into our new location. The new location is right across from Java Joe's in downtown Farmington. 155 Main St, Farmington ME 04938 to be exact, so no worries we are not moving far at all.

The best part about this move is we will be able to offer the same classes and times at the SAME PRICE! It will actually be easier now for us to run promotions like free private lessons etc so stay tuned for those.
