Ok, Here is the sylabus, this is his email message to me, Please read!!!
Below you will find the proposed syllabus for the wigmaking course. As we
discussed, the course should cover two days, preferably with at least a few
days in between each day so that people can work on their wigs as homework.
I believe the goals of the course should be as follows:
1. Learn about the basic structure of wigs.
2. Learn about the materials needed to make a wig.
3. Learn to make a headwrap of a person's head and take proper
measurements.
4. Learn to stuff a canvas head (to match the size of a person's head)
using the headwrap.
5. Learn to ventilate hair - single hair, multiple hairs, single knot,
double knot, fronts, parts.
6. Learn to sew using the ventilating needle and clear nylon thread.
7. Learn to create the foundation for the wig.
8. Learn the directions of ventilating - back of wig, crown, sides, top,
front, parts.
9. Learn how to prep a person to wear a wig.
10. Learn how to place a wig on a head and the many options for securing it
to the head.
Specific goal: Everyone will go home with a wig begun that, when finished,
will fit their own heads perfectly (or at least really well - - these are
beginners after all).
All that being said, here's a proposed syllabus:
Day 1.
Introductions

Basic talk about the types of wigs and the terms used in wigmaking.
Points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and part of 8 from above list.

Once again, this will be a 2 day course, let me know what you think!!!!
Day 2.

ventilate.
