Dear JBS, When I saw the Journaling class listed at Haystack, I was reminded to send out a notice that my workshop deadline has been extended to March 1 (workshop is in Italy in June.) Haystack is a wonderful place to be; I have taken workshops there before and have loved them and am tempted to participate in this one. IF you wish to go further afield (the timing is such that you can even do both), the details of Nature and Travel Journaling are at this link: http://natureandtraveljournalingintuscany.blogspot.com Date: June 16-23, 2013 Location: Spannocchia Foundation, Siena, Italy Subjects: plants, animals and architecture Media: graphite, marker, watercolor, colored pencils Cost: $2475, includes workshop (3 hrs daily instruction); accommodations (16th century Italian Villa on a nature preserve, situated on a hilltop outside Siena, Tuscany, Italy); all meals and wine (all produce, wine and some of the meat from the on-site organic farm); field trips: evening programs. No experience necessary. Spouses are welcome. Single supplement available. The US office for the Spannocchia Foundation is in Portland. Feel free to call or email with any questions. ________________ Gretchen Halpert Illustrator, educator http://www.gretchenhalpert.com http://natureandtraveljournalingintuscany.blogspot.com 607-767-6936 (h) 607-221-4538 (c)
