    I really enjoyed this workshop-I always appreciate how descriptive Peter is and how easy it is for me to conceptualize and understand the concepts he presents. Very well done-I learned a lot and would recommend this workshop to anyone. Thank you!

    Great workshop! Really enjoyed the lecture portions in ASL on the topic of Deaf Artists. Also the exposure to art vocabulary I found very helpful. Always enjoy the interaction portions of the workshop with Peter Cook.
