Layering – What is it?
Workshop Event
All members are invited to the SFW workshop on Wednesday August 6th at 6:30pm. Andrea Hagner will discuss the topic of “layering” in the upstairs conference room at the Selby Library.
What? You thought the answer to the question would be posted here on the blog? No way. You’ll just have to come to the workshop if you wish to be enlightened. (And we’ve read your writing, so you better try and make it.) J
