I will be conducting a workshop at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, June 28-29. The workshop will include intensive hands-on instruction and will be limited to 6 people. Most of my workshops have anywhere from 20 to 200 students so this is a great opportunity for one-on-one instruction. More information can be found here: http://michaeltraining.com/workshops/abg2014/
