Hi

I've received a FB message from one of your members Andre'e Mathieu asking if I have any workshops planned for in Canada. I don't but asked if there was a Canadian pc guild. I suggested she checks my Flickr photostream to see if there was any interest in a workshop. I post all my new work there. I will be in London over Christmas as my USA flight was cancelled and I couldn't find another. Looking forward to hearing from your guild. Thanks, Carol
