Orchestration Workshop -- Scoring for Ballet

Learn to write music that makes bodies move. I'll teach you orchestral color -- how a celesta sounds like falling snow, how a bassoon sounds like a grandfather clock. We score a dance scene from scratch.

Plein Air Painting Kit (French Easel + Oils)

Portable French easel, oil paints (Winsor & Newton), brushes, canvas boards. Everything you need to paint outdoors. I spent sixty years painting outside. The light changes every five minutes. That's not a problem. That's the point.

Garden Design Consultation -- Creating a Painting Garden

I'll help you design a garden that's beautiful to paint, not just beautiful to look at. Color masses, reflection pools, arched bridges, seasonal bloom sequences. A garden is a canvas that grows.

Writing Workshop -- Finding Your Voice Through Humor

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. I'll teach you to use it. We'll work on voice, timing, and the art of saying true things that make people laugh instead of cry. Bring something you've written. I'll be honest. Honest is all I know how to be.

Storytelling Masterclass -- The Serial Cliffhanger

Learn to structure stories that people can't stop reading. We work on chapter endings, pacing, character reveals, and the art of making your audience come back next week. I wrote A Christmas Carol in six weeks and it changed Western culture. Speed is not the enemy of quality.

Epic Novel Writing Workshop -- Structure for 500+ Pages

How to write a book that contains an entire world. We'll study structure, character management (I juggled 580 characters in War and Peace), and the art of the long form. This is not for short-attention spans. This is for people who want to build cathedrals.

Fencing Lessons -- Classical French Swordsmanship

My father was the greatest swordsman in France. I learned enough to write convincing duels. I'll teach you the basics -- en garde, parry, riposte -- and the storytelling behind every fight scene. A duel is a conversation with sharps.

Poetry Workshop -- Compression and White Space

Learn to say everything in four lines. We work on compression -- removing every word that isn't earning its place. Dashes are welcome. Capital Letters too. The goal is a poem so concentrated it detonates on contact.

Tesla Coil Kit (Educational, Low Power)

Build your own Tesla coil. Educational kit with all components, safety instructions, and my original circuit diagrams. When you see lightning jump between your hands and the coil, you'll understand why I couldn't stop. Low power -- it tingles, it doesn't kill.

Electrical Engineering Tutoring -- AC vs DC

I'll explain why alternating current won the War of Currents and why Edison was wrong. We cover electromagnetic induction, rotating magnetic fields, and power transmission. No prior knowledge needed -- just curiosity about why the lights come on.

Cubism Workshop -- See All Sides at Once

I'll teach you to draw a face from the front and side simultaneously. We'll break objects into geometric planes, reassemble them, and create something the camera can never capture. Cubism isn't abstract -- it's more real than reality. It shows everything at once.

Ceramics Studio Access -- Wheel + Kiln

Potter's wheel, electric kiln, glazes, clay. I made over 4,000 ceramic pieces in Vallauris. Come shape something with your hands. The clay doesn't care about your reputation.
