Signplaying

Signplaying offers online courses where you can learn how to create ASL poetry & Visual Vernacular, and how to translate English songs and poems into sign language. You can also meet with Eric on Zoom through the Signplaying ASL consulting services at https://calendly.com/signplaying/asl-consulting-50-mins.

You can also subscribe to the Signplaying email list at http://eepurl.com/iFMWMs. Even if there are no social media accounts for Signplaying, you can still get announcements and updates about future workshops from that email list.
