    Encounter

    This summer was 100% about my course, my students and my art school plans. A year worth of planning, writing, recording and creating had to come together in these weeks before my new course “Foundations I” started early September.

    Starting my online art school #3

    I did something big a few months ago; I released the first workshop that I made exclusively for my own website. I can hear you think “Que? What have you been about then lately?!”. I’ve actually been wondering the same thing, and feeling increasingly stuck in creating more course material. So here’s a blog full…
