Yes twice with Richard MacDonald. He is a world-renowned USA figurative sculptor. Every two years he would hold special workshops for professional artists. In my naivety I applied after sculpting for only 2 years when he requited a minimum of 10 years' experience to apply. When I met him, he explained that my sculptures already had movement naturally in them, and that was something that cannot be thought, you either have it or not, that is why he went against his policy and accepted me in his class. I was very flattered and appreciative that he had seen that in my work.
