Adobe Illustrator for Permaculture and Ecological Design, Nov 14-17

[Juliette Olshock]

Hi friends, 

We are really excited to be hosting this amazing permaculture practitioner from Minnesota who is going to teach us how to use Adobe Illustrator for the design process. While we value doing designs by hand, using software has many benefits as well. If you are a designer or hobbyist, consider taking this workshop with us to move your designs from paper to computer. Feel free to reply with questions about the workshop!
