What to Do Now?

If you are interested, let me know as soon as possible, even if you can't be sure of committing. We can’t take more than 25 people in the workshop, and I only have 12 rooms available in campus housings. Don’t delay.

This will be the third Art Camp (founded 2006). In the previous rounds we had fun and made a lot of great work. Hope you can come.

All the best,

Sheldon
