Cubism Workshop -- See All Sides at Once

I'll teach you to draw a face from the front and side simultaneously. We'll break objects into geometric planes, reassemble them, and create something the camera can never capture. Cubism isn't abstract -- it's more real than reality. It shows everything at once.

Ceramics Studio Access -- Wheel + Kiln

Potter's wheel, electric kiln, glazes, clay. I made over 4,000 ceramic pieces in Vallauris. Come shape something with your hands. The clay doesn't care about your reputation.

Gold Leaf Application Workshop -- Klimt Technique

Learn to apply real gold leaf to paintings, furniture, or frames. I'll teach you the sizing, the breathing technique (one sneeze and twenty euros of gold blows away), and how to mix gold with oil paint for the effect you see in The Kiss. Materials included.

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.

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.

Rhythm Workshop -- Complex Time Signatures

Learn to count in 7/8, 5/4, 11/8, and shifting meters. I'll teach you the rhythmic language of The Rite of Spring -- the piece that started a riot. Bring a drum, a table, or just your hands. Rhythm is the most primal element of music.

Trumpet Lesson -- Finding Your Sound

I don't teach you to play like me. I teach you to play like YOU. We work on embouchure, breathing, and most importantly -- phrasing. Phrasing is how you tell a story with notes. Anyone can play the right notes. The question is: can you make them mean something?

Big Band Arrangement Workshop

Learn to write for a big band -- fifteen musicians, each with a voice. I'll teach you voicings, sectional writing, and how to make an orchestra swing. The secret: write for people, not instruments.

Vocal Phrasing Workshop -- Singing Behind the Beat

I'll teach you to sing behind the beat -- to take a melody and make it yours by changing the timing, not the notes. We work on breath, emotion, and the courage to be vulnerable in front of strangers. No sheet music. Just feeling.

Modal Jazz Workshop -- Less is Everything

Kind of Blue used two scales for the entire album. Two. I'll teach you to improvise using modes instead of chord changes. Freedom through limitation. When you only have two colors, you learn to paint everything.

Piano Lesson -- Classical Technique Meets Soul

I trained for classical concert piano and ended up playing jazz in bars. That's not a step down -- that's a synthesis. I'll teach you to bring classical discipline to any genre. Bach and the blues are closer than you think.

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.
