further breakdown:
2 first nation artists
2 profs From Arkansas
2 running a sheltered workshop where handicapped adults make recycled shopping bags from old blue jeans and print them
1 guy from Hong Kong works in screen supply/school.
2 women who design/print/sew their own clothing line, 15 yrs in biz, 2 retail stores in Vancouver and Victoria
1 highschool art teacher
1 college printmaking instructor
