" Hi Amanda
I can’t begin to tell you what a wonderful time I had, it far exceeded my expectations. Bill is a remarkable teacher and what a thoughtful man, not to mention he’s a blast to be around! I love his laid back manner. I will definitely be taking more of his workshops – for years to come! I think now, if I took a workshop with anyone else I’d be measuring them up to Bill lol!
