What About CoVID?
I hear you. Here are a few of the safety protocols I’ve put into place in the workshops I’ve taught this summer:
+It’s an outdoor workshop and everyone is required to wear a mask.
+I’ve reduced the group size by half.
+Each participant has their own work area, 6’ apart and we take turns using the vats.
+There’s plenty of room to spread out away from the group and take off your mask during the course of the workshop.
Have a question? Let’s talk
