I just discovered your incredible site and am so excited! I’m Liverpool, UK based; in July my friend and I set up the Creative Collective initially on FB for people interested in/practicing any/all the arts. It was primarily a way to grow a community, to share, learn, support, work and play together. Thank you so, so much for the wonderful and inspiring lessons from Taller Jacobo & Maria Angeles. Too many points of inspiration to list!!!
