2028:
Beginning this year, after 20 years of teaching, I will be shifting to teaching two or three 5-day workshops each year. I will also occasionally offer small-group (3-4 students) botanical printing workshops at my cabin on the north shore of Lake Michigan. Drop me a note if you'd like to talk with me about this option. Thanks.
