Tom Richmond:
I am being asked by a few if I will be doing in-person workshops again. I don’t have an answer for that. I know I will not be doing any more in 2021. I have no concrete plans to do any in 2022 or beyond, but never say never. I’m still trying to find the time to put together the on-line version, but have made little progress on that due to a lot of other demands on my time. I fully expected to have the virtual version up and running by now, but that is still a ways away.
I suspect what will happen going forward is I will get the online workshop put together first, and then I may do a handful of in-person ones each year that will be a sort of continuing education orientated workshop. In other words it will be for people who have taken the online version but want a chance to advance their skills working with a group and directly with me in person. These will likely be larger groups, but less expensive to participate. I may also give the “Caricature Illustration” workshop another try. The one I had scheduled here in MN took place during the pandemic but was severely curtailed.
That all said, if I get a group of people who want me to come to their area and do a workshop, I would probably do that. I just don’t think I’ll be going back to the 10-12 times a year twelve person classes.
