Payment of the workshop fee via Venmo will secure you a spot in the workshop. Workshops are limited to just 10 participants so as to provide a maximum of instructor attention for each student. Minimum registration for a workshop to run is 6 students, so invite some friends! Fees will be refunded to participants if the class fails to run due to low enrollment. Further information, a class materials list, and directions to the workshop location will be sent to you via email upon receipt of the workshop fee. This workshop is held outdoors within a shaded shelter for the studio portions of the class, and outside for the field drawing sessions.
