If you keep up with the events happening in your area – in this case, Woodland Hills – or your city’s leisure guides, you may have noticed a trend making a strong entrance as of late: Creative workshops. Those who have tapped into their creativity may have attended such workshops in the past, or perhaps taken a photography class for beginners, but what seems to be the difference between today’s workshop trend and that of years past is that it is all about the social setting…and self-awareness.
