I have to second this. If you can't get to the workshop at least go
to the slide show. Walter is a great teacher of infectious enthusiasm
and a brilliant speaker. It definitely won't be "This is a plate I
made in 1999"
I took a two week course with him at La Meridana and plan to do it
again next year.
