This new feature for 2012 highlights classes and workshops we did when we were young. Over the years we got busy with family and careers and forgot or left those experiences behind. This is an opportunity to revisit these skills and experience them again with a new appreciation. We hope you find something to your liking. If you would like to suggest a future workshop please feel free to contact us.
