• This is a beginner friendly workshop. All skill levels are welcome. We were all beginners at one time.

• There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.If you have a silly question, someone else might too. Ask anyway.

• I do not know everything. About anything.If I don’t know, I will say so. When we learn something new, please share it with anyone willing to listen.

• Even the greatest works of art started with someone learning the basics and using their knowledge to practice their craft.
