WORKSHOP

​

All workshops are properly illustrated with material developed for this purpose. If there is interest in another workshop, please keep in touch with me here.

 

It is suggested in any possibility indicated below that the classes are collective. The collective work is more dynamic and agile, serving as a reference for others. The experience of one can serve as the basis and incentive for others.
