In Person Guild Lectures & Workshops
I have decided that I will not be offering in-person lectures and workshops. I know that I will miss the in-person camaraderie, but this decision is the best option for my life and family commitments.
I hope that your guild will consider my virtual options as these events have been well received by many, many guilds.
