Difficult decisions when teaching a workshop....







Just a short note to let you know about a hard decision I have made. I have scheduled a four day still life workshop at the Coppini starting Friday April 18 to Monday April 20. It will take place from 10AM to 5PM everyday.
   But for the very first time, I am being very strict about only having eight students. It is my sincerest desire to share with you the little knowledge I might have, and therefore I want to make sure that each student receives what they expect from one of my workshops. Recently I gave a workshop to a rather large group. I did this because I had more students than I could handle. I thought it would work out.   Unfortunately, it was not the best decision because I felt I was not able to work with each person the way that I would of liked to. Therefore, from now on, I will very firmly limit my workshops to only eight students. If there is a need, I will have a waiting list. I truly hope that you understand, as I feel it is my obligation to share with you what others have so unselfeshly shared with me and I can only do so in a smaller group.
   So I came up with this idea: "How many are too many students" What do you think?
Would love to hear your thoughts.

If you have any questions/comments/concerns, please let me know.
The workshop will be held at the Coppini Academy of Fine Arts.

Happy painting!
Very sincerely
Gladys :)

I tend to think 'less is more' in most cases, and workshops are no exception. It sounds, to me at least, that you've made a sound decision -- for both yourself and for future workshop participants.

Best of success to you.

Cheers!

PS: Love the painting that accompanies the blog post!

Having a small class was a very wise decision. Even though I thought a class of 10 was small, I think having 8 was great. You give so much and I enjoyed that you were able to do a few demos and discuss the ideas you were trying to get across to your students. I feel I was able to concentrate better with less disruptions (even though I drove everyone crazy with my cough- I will wear a mask next time). I enjoyed the small discussion groups we had as well as the handouts and the wonderful books you share.
