Training Methodology allowing us to not only spread C.R.A.F.T. on a national level, but globally as well. The attendees were taught by Senior Manager of the Academy, Leah Sterk, along with Matrix Artistic Designers Daniel Roldan, Nick Stenson and Nicholas French.  Troy Alexander, Manager of Matrix Global Education and Cynthia Pitchford, Assistant Vice Presidentof Matrix Global Education, also made guest appearances to present to our international group.
