Caricature Workshop 2 is On!

I had so many people sign up for the waiting list for my first workshop, I went ahead and scheduled a second one for the weekend before, which was the only time I had available until the snow flies around here. So actually this one will be the FIRST workshop, and the original will be the second. Half the class is already booked by waiting list people and there are only 6 remaining spots so if you want in do not procrastinate. I will not be doing another one in this area until next fall (if then) no matter how many people are on the new waiting list.

Also note I have added two new things to this (and to the original) workshop:

1. Extended class time on Sunday– Rather than end the workshop at 1:00 pm I have added a lunch break and then a 1:00-5:00 final session. I wanted to be sure I get plenty of time with everyone on an individual basis. If you are flying in and wish to leave on Sunday, try and get a later flight. Otherwise you might need one more night in the hotel if you want to stay for the entire class. My original intent was to stop early enough for most people to be able to leave that afternoon and save a night in the hotel, but considering how far some people are traveling and the costs involved it seemed penny wise but pound foolish to have only half a day on Sunday. This way you can leave early if you want to, and I can make sure any one-on-one time gets in before you have to take off.
2. Custom Caricature Workshop T-Shirt!!- Everyone who signs up for the class will need to send me some decent pics of themselves and their T-shirt size. I’m going to make a group caricature illustration of the entire class and put it on T-Shirts for everybody. One of a kind, with the dates and location of the workshop on it. Only the students of the class and myself will ever have one of these.

The PDF you will then download will give you the details on booking your room at the hotel (if you need one, that is not required if you are a local), other important info and will also have a form I’d like you to fill out with info for the workshop, your shirt size, etc.

As before I will accept a few names for a “waiting list” (no deposit required) in case I get any cancellations. The wait list would apply to either workshop in the event of cancellations.
