Also a reminder that workshop artists have to make prototypes/samples to work out material costs, variations and timings, often spending longer on prep than the duration of the workshop to make sure it's a smooth and enjoyable workshop for all participants. #whatartistsdoallday [contains quote post or other embedded content]19 Mar 2025 08:56 +0000at://did:plc:q3cfpexf7qr5amdekjnemdgv/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkpsspdvd22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/nerissact.bsky.social/post/3lkpsddl3722gI loved mine.

The use of "amateur" in the venue publicity jarred. Why not "student" to denote nonprofessional? Amateur suggests untrained; a hobby. I trust a student nurse but not sure about an amateur one.
