WHAT WILL LIFE THROW OUR WAY?
Well, it seems some normalcy descended upon us for a brief time. I have reconfigured my studio to allow more space between wheels and work stations to make the studio more Covid safe. In order for me to proceed responsibly with the safety of everyone in mind, I must ask that you please be vaccinated before signing up for a class or workshop. We will be in an enclosed space, and as the winter progresses we will need to close the windows. Thank you for your understanding. Please see below for the upcoming offerings.
