Hi Everyone,

"Laguna College of Art + Design" have invited CDA to do a 2 day group workshop on Sept 22 & 23 at their main campus.

If you haven't gone to our past LCAD events, it is basically a tasting menu of the best CDA have to offer in 2 in
tense days of sharing and learning.

There will be 5 demos in total ranging from costume, creature, kit bash, tech, and environment painting.

It is a great event for beginning students to use the opportunity to understand more about the industry and how better prepare yourself for the job positions you want to apply. Questions are encouraged and the workshop is a great way to meet and ask questions during the event.

For seasoned professionals, it is a great opportunity to meet other artists and learn new work flow, design and production ideas.

To sign up, just e-mail us at contact@conceptdesignacad.com to reserve your seat.

Space is very limited, so sign up soon~!!

Best,
Kevin Chen
