Hi Karla!

We try to make our workshops affordable for anyone interested - if you pre-enroll you pay only $750 after the 25% pre-enrollment discount - you pay only when the official workshop date is established and everything is provided! Ilia Anossov teaches fresco painting techniques, Ian Hardwick - fresco plastering. Each student will receive a copy of the video taken during the workshop he/she attends. And two "lucky" students will be selected by independent judge (local museum representative or art professor) and will receive Best in Class cash award. Each student will also bring home their own fresco panel produced during the workshop. Not to mention that the workshop will take place in convenient for you town. For the moment we are planning 8 different locations for the spring of 2001.
