A special mention for Pete Lewis this week, I spent a fair bit of time watching your free play on Thursday, a VAST improvement. Keep it up.
Coming soon we have a  review of Reinier van Noort's sickle workshops, to summarize quickly though, excellent, he knows his material very well, his classes are well structured and you can really feel the amount of thought he's put into the mechanics of his interpretation. If you get a chance, work with him. I know that all the students who got to train with him found it massively fun and rewarding.
