FINAL NOTES:

Pre WORKSHOP EVENINGS are MANDATORY, please do not plan on skipping these, no matter how many times you have worked with me, there is always new information about the class and locations.

As with all my multi-day workshops, I understand people need to travel, some have other commitments and some can’t take off weekdays or weekends, so I allow for flexible enrollment. The only hitch is I tend to cover a lot on the first day/reception such as materials, techniques and planning. And all multi day workshops end with a critique, which again for some is very important and brings it all together.

*Usually on the second day, we have a model, both nude and clothed.
