Participants do not need to have strong drawing skills, but a willingness to explore different marking choices that should provide lifelong joy of this simple, but elegant process. Due to the technical information and processes covered, this course is suited for those who are 18 and up. All materials are provided. Cost is $150 for the 3-day workshop.
