Hi Joe,
Just wondering if you're planning any beginner or beginner to intermediate sign maker workshops this year?
Thaks kindly,

What a nice complement and humbling thought.

Over the past two years I come to realize my workshop days are behind me. The stars must be aligned since you're the second person today asking the same question. There seems to be plenty of interest in a good creative workshop with the expressed purpose to develop knowledge of materials and techniques. At this point I've drifted into semi-retirement and no longer have the big shop I once did. Those intense long hours were lots of fun where life long friends were made.

Workshop Thoughts;

Small workshops are always better. A group of six to eight students seems about right. It's best to have a set of objectives where everyone, working with a partner, ends up developing their creative skills.

Wish I could be of more assistance. Lets hope someone gets a workshop scheduled.

Joe

Joe,
There is a big demand for well seasoned experienced and knowledgeable sign masters to lead the rest of us into the business of sign craftsmanship.
