These workshops have been very successful at bringing in an audience of interested and enthusiastic young people for over 25 years. I have also run programs for adults/educators at locations like the Norman Rockwell Museum, Massachusetts College Of Art, U Mass Amherst, RISD, that have created excellent dialouge and illumination of this often misunderstood art form.
