We are excited to bring you our new series “great weather for Workshops” at the amazing Living Room - NYC in New York City. Hosted by Thomas Fulcaloro, these workshops will be generative workshops that happen on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 7:00 pm, each with a fabulous guest facilitator to take your craft to a new and unexpected place.

The next workshop will be held on Wednesday, May 22nd, 7pm - 9pm

May’s guest facilitator is Puma Perl.
