Default Would I be Nuts to Take or Not Take This Course?

I have this week off, and Pittsburgh is only a 5-hour drive from me...

Robin is one of the nicest guys around and is really patient and a fantastic teacher, PLUS a really great artist. Take the class if you are interested in learning something new and wonderful!

Do it. When it says all levels, really it means it. He will 'get' your skill level and show you what you can do on your kind of torch with your skills and push it a little bit without being too much and leave you something to grow on. He's freaking awesome.

Thanks, everyone, for all your encouragement!

My initial hesitancy was totally about my limited sculptural skills, but my philosophy is that even a novice can glean invaluable information and skills by "going outside the box".

I ask my students all the time...
"So what did you learn today?" ...what they don't realize is that I'm not talking just about course material, but about the process of learning.
