All of the workshops shown have been taught to a variety of groups.  Your group or organization may request that I travel to you to teach one or more classes or you can sign up to take a class yourself either on line or at several events which offer multiple classes with many instructors.  I  occasionally teach  one on one or small group classes in my studio which are designed to specifically address your goals and interests.  Please click on the thumbnails to see a description, and location of each class.  Email me for more information, fees or dates available.   I'll be working on digital download of many of my classes in the next year so please check back.
