Recorded Workshops:

We also will offer recorded versions of the workshops to enable those not able to attend the live version to instead watch the recorded version at their convenience. As the recordings become available, we will post them here:

At the end of the recorded workshop, we will provide the check-in form link for attendance purposes.
