    Debra, there are so many great instructors and classes, you really can’t go wrong. What is it you really want to work on or learn more about? I think you would be happy with Pashur’s preclass. I took classes with Pashur, Mark Reid, Kerry Ann Smith, Brian Wolfe, and popped in for a bit of Rebecca’s Arty Brush Strokes class at last years convention. I would like to take classes with some of the other instructors, as well, this year…it can be very hard deciding which classes to take when there’s so many good ones all scheduled for the same times.
