Sigi's Teaching Style
What to Expect at our Workshops
Before the workshop, you will receive a detailed email with all of the pertinent information, including what to bring, what to wear, and other logistical details.
Each workshop begins with an in-depth explanation & demonstration of the materials and methods. You spend the remainder of the workshop practicing your new skills, with ample one-on-one instruction from Sigi.
Sigi also does an "Ask me anything" session at lunch, so you can get your natural building questions answered.
What's Included in Workshop Fees
What you'll get at every workshop:
• Comprehensive information & thorough explanations
• Ample hands-on experience

• Browsing access to my favorite books on the topic
• "Ask me anything" during lunch

Sigi's Teaching Syle
I believe the way to truly learn HOW something works requires also learning WHY it works. So that's exactly my approach to teaching...and why every workshop includes:
• thorough explanations of materials, tools, & techniques, PLUS
• ample hands-on experience...so you leave with
the confidence to continue on your own
I take a low-tech approach to teaching, using simple tools for maximum empowerment.
