Really? I was hoping no one would be offended by my suggestion. Chris, you probably have more expertise that I, but I would be glad to try redesigning the poll(s) if somebody would look them over and make changes. My grad school experience was in the 70s, too--a LONG time ago!

Chris, you made a good point about Atelier training vs. college/art school. Maybe we need 3 different polls, all with the same questions, each asking whether the person has taken or plans to take workshops?
