Karin, thank you for the good advice. I've been lurking in the background reading the posts for a couple months now and decided it would be a good idea to register so I can communicate too.

I am an amateur wanting to go professional. My husband, grown children, and extended family are supportive of this. Some of my friends aren't...... How do you deal with people who don't take you seriously, and even try to discourage you? I think the reason these friends are trying to discourage us is that we're planning on moving away for four years so I can attend an atelier. Our motivation for moving is to be able to give 100% of my attention to learning, which would be very difficult to do here. I would appreciate any insight on dealing with this. Thanks.
