"We regret to inform you that there will not be a workshop by Donald Moyer this year. Donald has, after 30 years [in the same studio location], received notice that his studio lease will no longer be renewed.
He is going to deal with this large change in his life and will not be able to come and teach us this year. We have extended our warmest invitation for him to teach us in the future. He sends his deepest regrets." —Dona Rao, Worksop Organizer
