The workshop was wonderfully informative. They were fun to watch and learn from. I hope to see them again in the future and find out that there is more interest in, and more people working in the Tengucho-style.

the company of prophets

"There is no virtue in being uncritical; nor is it a habit to which the young are given. But criticism is only the burying beetle that gets rid of what is dead, and, since the world lives by creative and constructive forces, and not by negation and destruction, it is better to grow up in the company of prophets than of critics."
-Richard Livingstone
