For all attending the GOW,  I cannot recommend an evening or a class with Peter 
Benson highly enough!  Peter is a regular visitor to the Mystic Carvers Retreat 
each year in October.  I have taken several classes with Peter and found each to 
be an wonderful learning experience.  His sense of humor and ability to respond 
to each and every carver at the proper level of expertise needed is wonderful. 
You will have to translate from British English to American English as he goes 
along, but you only need to stop him for clarification and he will be happy to 
oblige.

Peter has a wonderful sense of humor that is as sharp as his carving tools.  Be 
prepared for a fun time with Peter during the week at GOW, he will be a great 
addition to the Gathering!
