The workshoppers really came through. In only four days, under the deft hand of Louise Fili, the projects were conceived (reconceived), designed, written and produced. We will show them all in a later NewsBlog post, but the quality exceeded expectations (which were high).

Bravo to the participants:
Jessie Bunning
Marie Coons
Lydia Del Bianco
Agatha Gallagher
Jennifer Glaser

Andrew Passas
