Workshop Considerations

• Know your skill level. You don’t want to be in a class that’s going to teach you what you already know and you don’t want to feel lost in a sea of technical knowledge that you don’t understand yet.

• Be honest as to what you know and want to learn. This ensures you’ll get your money’s worth.

• Class size. The limit is usually 12 to 16 per workshop. A smaller class size gives the instructor a chance to personally get to know and help out everyone. Sometimes instructors have assistants with extensive knowledge so no one feels left behind and all questions can be answered.

• What are you paying for? Sometimes meals, accommodations, film, use of equipment, etc., are included in the workshop cost.

• Credentials! You’re paying good money so make sure the school you’re attending is a reputable one that will raise your level of understanding in a fun and comfortable environment.
