Since I attended the excellent SCAD workshops at Hero Con last year, I’ve been looking for high-quality classes and workshops that go into a little more detail. Specifically, I’m looking for short adult-appropriate workshops that working people like me who may not be able to enroll in a full-year program, can attend during the summer. Here is a list for 2009, I will update as I find more of them.
