Spring Workshop

Rebel Romans with Barbara Close

March 9 & 10th, 2024

10am-1pm (MDT) Saturday and Sunday

Join us for our ONLINE workshop with Barbara Close.  Barbara will be our instructor for the two days, 3-hour sessions.

Understanding Roman proportions will give us a basis on which to build. Some people are a bit intimidated by these guys, but we'll have fun with them using press-release techniques and more Versal-like characters.

Open to all skill levels.
