    Hellooooo Orchid, I just returned home from Brian's workshop on
    engraving this past week. Sooo here's my feedback:  I was at first
    concerned for Brian, regarding the recent battle for his good
    health, but It seemed that with a smaller class ( 3 this time ) that
    it would be a good indicator as to how he would fare. Well I can't
    speak for my womderful classmates but believe me it was not Brian who
    was dragging his butt through the long days of information on
    engraving that he has amassed over the past 30 years. 

    I found the classes to be challenging but  very informative. The
    hardest thing for me is when trying to learn a new skill, I am 
    experiencing the learning curve immediately and then trying to apply
    the new class info  as it progresses. But thats just as it shoul be
    !!!  We had at our disposal, both GRS and Lindsey equippment to
    experiment with, and Brian demonstrated on both so that we could
    return home and make an educated decision on which direction would be
    best for us individually. 

    I would " highly recomend" Brian's classes to anyone trying to gain
    an introduction to the wonderful world of hand engraving. I would
    also try to get out to see him before he makes what seems to be the
    inevitable next step and expands his classes to a greater number of
    students per class. It was an incredible luxury having him there for
    just the three of us to listen to and be able to ask many questions
    and requests for "  yet another" demo of how he made that look so
    good and effortless .I felt so fortunate to be there, welcomed into
    his home and introduced to his family and wonderful wife Melanie who
    happens to be expert and instructs all Adobe products  AT  the local
    collage ( I got a free lesson ). 

    Thank you "Maestro" for your time and expertise and for sharing it
    with us, I look forward to visiting again to refine my skills after
    much practice  nd Thank You Orchid Community for  another wonderful
    connection. 

Brian I send all Gods light!
Peace Karl Linger
