No Fongwei Liu, but we do have open studio Nov 22 and next week too!

We had to postpone the Fongwei Liu portrait and clothed figure workshop we had scheduled for this weekend because we didn't get enough people signing up in advance.  But we will have our Friday session long pose with live model from 10 am - 1 pm tomorrow 10/22/13.

Also next Monday we will have our regular figure drawing session 9 am - noon.

Tuesday evening we'll also keep our figure drawing session going from 6:30 pm - 9 pm.

No Friday session the day after Thanksgiving--enjoy the holiday!!
