___________________________________________
Price for each workshop is $40 – bad news is they are all/each scheduled for Sat. 9/13 noon to 2pm.
good news is you can also get a private lesson – I will connect you (sims@wail.com) with your teacher
of choice (or you can reach out on your own) and you can set it up
with said teacher. – private lessons are separate and different from the workshops. Claro?
