More workshops are crossing over the boundaries of those classifications, bringing together materials and techniques in ways that transcend genres, labels, and the-way-we’ve-always-done-things. This is in no way a bad thing — quite the opposite, it is exciting and creatively rewarding. However, we do need to list our workshops in some order, and media is still the easiest and most efficient means. This first section, Special Topics, represents those classes whose media transcendence has reached a point that choosing any one label seems grossly unsuccessful. However, here is a hint about our catalog: every section contains special topics. Within each category you will find many classes that offer techniques and skills that would apply to persons working in any media. So, my recommendation to you is this: do not skip straight to your tried-and-true art media of choice. Spend an afternoon and browse, peruse through the entire catalog. Hidden throughout all the offerings, you may be surprised to find a topic that is special to you.
