I'm introverted... is this the place for me?
The good news is you aren't alone in your introverted-ness! Our weekend workshop was intentionally kept small to make sure artists can mingle and connect with each other without feeling overwhelmed by the size of the group. The goal of this weekend is to better your art skill and understanding of your craft, the bonus is the connection and the community you'll get at the same time.
