I do remember quite clearly that Deborah Flynn taught the workshop. She had published a great little book on gum too. Very sadly, a couple of years later, one of my students felt that Deborah's book was of more use to them than to me and relieved me of it - permanently. Deborah Flynn may well have been at VSW throughout the 70's. I have never come across her work, but then I dont live in the USA. Have a great time in Rochester! cheers Catherine
