The works created during the workshop and immediately after it, inspired Rudi Uran and Matej Koren to prepare a book and a documentary.

As the workshop initiated the powerful creative energy, and thus enthused the participants, as well as the visitors of the exhibition and the audience of Mr. Carson's lecture, the organizers, together with Mr. David Carson, have decided to repeat the workshop.

Some of the atmosphere and the creations produced in the last year workshop may be seen on this web site.
