Workshop Review
For those of you thinking about investing in a workshop to expand your knowledge and hone your skills, I have created an Art Workshop Reviews section on my website. My intention is to help you invest wisely by presenting a journalistic perspective on the workshops I have attended. The first article in this ongoing series is about my experiences in Idaho with Scott Christensen. The article appears on my site as well as on Scott Christensen's. This particular blog was not solicited by Scott or his business managers. Nor am I receiving any kind of compensation for it. I wrote it as a service to my readers. One of them sent the link to Scott who asked permission to use it.
