Want me to come to you? I receive many requests to come teach workshops in various locations! I am honored that you would like to learn from me. Traveling either by car or plane requires a lot of pre-planning 🙂 Many of my requests start by asking for a price but I cannot give a rate until I know details.

• How much equipment would I need to bring to a location?

• How many students are expected?

• Do you have an indoor location big enough for your participants?

• Are there enough tables and chairs?

• Do you have access to water, sinks and your own steamers or big pots?

• Is there electrical power?

• A place I can stay?

• Available dates?

 

A well planned event can be hugely fun and exciting and I am happy to be a part of that.  Your location does not have to be state of the art! Contact me now for available dates in 2025!

GROUP ZOOM WORKSHOPS

​

An option to Traveling workshops is a group ZOOM class instead! Covid forced us all to be adaptable and an option for a Guild or Group is a Workshop exclusively for your group! Reserve a day or a weekend. As much as I love to travel to locations from the East Coast of the US, that may not be a practical option for your group. But a group ZOOM class can be a great way for both parties to work together without the added expenses associated with bringing in an instructor :-).

​

A number of venues have already booked dates for 2025 so contact me now!
