– Exercises to warm you up and leapfrog you ahead
– How and where to find inspiration

Spaces are limited so each student receives plenty of attention. The workshop is geared from beginner to advanced. A working knowledge of color and design basics are helpful.

I truly look forward to sharing what I’ve learned on my journey and hope you’ll join me. Email if you have any questions but don’t delay. There are only a few spaces left!
