Another thing about the Scottsdale Artist's School. It is not an art school, per se. It has always functioned as a workshop.

People like me benefit from the open studios, but I find a higher price, short burst of instruction and inspiration is tailored to working or aspiring professionals. The local workshops, like Chris is doing, NORMALLY are for the local student clientele.

Chris has jammed three workshops' materials into what would be a four-day short workshop and is trying to load us with so much information we are getting the bargain of the century. Aside from the technical problems of taking photos, this workshop in the normal schedule would be morning demo, afternoon practical so we are missing out on what the general attendees are usually most excited by: watching the big timer work! Her generous contribution is basically doubling her information and allowing us to come watch her demo in a local high end mall on Fridays.

I hope, when you rework the format for a single week, you are less hard on yourself, Chris. You could cover half the material in twice the time and nobody would complain!
