Complete Tool Kit (Metric + Imperial)
Full socket set, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, voltage tester, pipe wrench, hacksaw. Metric AND imperial because we're Swiss-Canadian and we work in both worlds. Everything in its place. Return it the same way.
Songwriting Workshop -- Eighty Drafts of Hallelujah
I'll teach you to rewrite. And rewrite. And rewrite. Hallelujah took eighty drafts. That's not failure. That's craft. We start with a feeling, turn it into an image, then carve it into a verse. Bring patience. This is a slow art.
Songwriting Workshop -- Words First, Music Second
I write the words first. Always. The melody finds its way to the words. We'll work on imagery, metaphor, and the art of saying something so specific it becomes universal. Bring a notebook. Leave your guitar at home for the first session.
Scat Singing Workshop -- Voice as Instrument
Learn to improvise with your voice using syllables, rhythms, and melodic invention. No words. Just sound. I'll teach you the vocabulary of scat -- the bops, the doos, the ba-da-ba-das -- and then we throw the vocabulary away and you find your own.
Large-Format Flower Painting Workshop
We paint flowers big enough that people have to stop and look. Six-foot canvases. Close-up. No background. Just the flower filling your entire field of vision. Bring your own flowers -- the ones from your garden, not the florist. Real ones.
Physical Comedy Workshop -- Tell a Story Without Words
I made the whole world laugh without saying a word. I'll teach you timing, the pratfall, the slow burn, the double take. Your body is the instrument. No props needed -- just your willingness to fall down and get back up. That's comedy. That's life.
Epic Novel Writing Workshop -- Structure for 500+ Pages
How to write a book that contains an entire world. We'll study structure, character management (I juggled 580 characters in War and Peace), and the art of the long form. This is not for short-attention spans. This is for people who want to build cathedrals.
Garden Design Consultation -- Creating a Painting Garden
I'll help you design a garden that's beautiful to paint, not just beautiful to look at. Color masses, reflection pools, arched bridges, seasonal bloom sequences. A garden is a canvas that grows.
Plein Air Painting Kit (French Easel + Oils)
Portable French easel, oil paints (Winsor & Newton), brushes, canvas boards. Everything you need to paint outdoors. I spent sixty years painting outside. The light changes every five minutes. That's not a problem. That's the point.
Orchestration Workshop -- Scoring for Ballet
Learn to write music that makes bodies move. I'll teach you orchestral color -- how a celesta sounds like falling snow, how a bassoon sounds like a grandfather clock. We score a dance scene from scratch.
Custom Guitar Building Workshop
I'll teach you to build a guitar from scratch. Cigar box, plywood, whatever you've got. Electronics, pickups, wiring. The rectangular guitar I played on stage? Built it in my garage. You can build yours in mine.
Cigar Box Guitar (Handmade, 3-String)
Built it myself. Cigar box body, broomstick neck, three strings. This is how I started. This is how rock started. You don't need a Gibson to make music. You need a box, a stick, and a beat.
