Anyone ever seen any cloth diapering classes being offered in the twin cities? I have a tip that Amma Parenting might, but I don't see anything on the books right now. I need help convincing the hubs that its a terrific idea, so I think going to a class together might help! Thanks!

I've never attended this class but have shopped at the store. It is probably a really good class because you'll get information about a variety of different diapers (they probably have the biggest variety of any store in MN) rather than a few of the other classes I've seen where they are promoting just a few styles of diapers.
I second the All Things Diapers rec. I haven't been to the class, but I've shopped there quite a few times and the owners are great. They're really helpful, and they have a good selection.
I have quite a few CD posts on blog too; several of them in response to a friend who needed convincing. (And who is now CDing.) Let me know if you'd like the links.
I'd recommend All Things Diapers too! I just went there last week for the first time and the owner (Martin) was super nice and knowledgeable. I'm planning to take the class sometime this month but Martin also mentioned that they are planning to start one-on-one lessons if that is something you would be interested in for a small price. They also offer other classes such as Laundering, Baby Wearing, etc. I love free classes and supporting local businesses!
We took the free class at Amma and it was helpful, but I honestly learned more from just researching, reading blogs and checking out websites. If I were to need to learn again I think it would be better to take a class at a store that actually has a wide variety of diapers to look at, play with and learn about.
Re: Cloth Diapering Classes
All Things Diapers in Blaine has a few listed classes on their website https://www.allthingsdiapers.com/Allthingsdiapers/Workshops.html

Peapods in St Paul has a class twice a month for free:

As does BabyLove, though it costs $35:

I haven't taken one so I'm not sure if either will do a good job convincing your husband.
