MV Workshop Roadmap 2018

Hey jungle,

Roman and Peter finally managed to fill the calender with a lot of dates for weekend seminars in 2018. There will be one big change regarding the location  of the classes:

All classes in 2018
will be held in Augsburg, Germany.

This decision might trigger a lot of questions or not...

... but we gave it plenty of thoughts: First, holding classes in other cities with all necessary seminar equipment requires a huge investment in time and energies in terms of travelling and also Roman is a much better teacher if he is not exhausted from travelling. In addition, we have a venue in Augsburg which is perfect in all teaching aspects and has a good (and cheap) hotel right next to it with a two minute walking distance. So, we think that we can host German and international guests in a proper way and ensure an ideal enviroment for learning, if you consider to travel to learn from Roman.

Beside full weekend in depth seminars to a certain topic, Roman will also offer new class concepts, like one day classes with a specific topic. All seminars will be offered in German and English language.

Quick overview   
- here are the dates and topics for 2018. Red are upcoming seminars,
green are the ones in the past. Check for the reviews on the green ones.Update:
You now can find so far enrolled student numbers behind the seminars.
All seminars in Augsburg will take place as soon as we got up to three students!

One more concept of a seminar
is in the making which might be interesting for some of you: Roman will hold a seminar for teachers and Miniature Painters that teach and want to learn more about the teaching aspect of this field to make their seminars an even greater experience for their students.

If you are travelling far for one of these classes and want to spent some extra days with an even more in depth learning experience, you can also consider a private coaching session with one of your monkeys. Only available as long as time slots are available. Discounts on private coaching possible if you are booking a weekend class too. Speak with us!

If you are interested in joining a class,
please send an e-mail with your name and address to Roman via
jarhead--at--massivevoodoo--dot--com. He will confirm your reservation as soon as possible (please wait at least 4-7 days) and provide any additonal information you might need.
