This year Robert Burridge taught a workshop in the Fall for the experienced painter, having fun with acrylics, collage, and more. Each day started with a demo and some suggested exercises to get the creative juices flowing. 
One of the morning exercises was simple figures, working with just one color plus black and white. 
In case you can’t read what is on the back of those figure’s jackets, it’s “Bobette.” Those who have taken a workshop with Bob before know what this means! 
The weather for the week was spectacular! 
Our staff likes to have some artistic fun in the kitchen! This was the first night’s meal that we were holding for someone who was going to be arriving late and couldn’t make it in time for the dinner time. 
This was a fun class and a great group of artists. If you missed your chance, Bob Burridge will be back again in the Spring of 2016. Sign up now before it fills up.
Artistic Exploration with Skip Lawerence
November 15, 2015
It was another memorable week with Skip Lawrence this year. Skip said is was one of the best groups of students he has ever had. 
Everyone had fun painting and eating the wonderful meals, including this delicious Apple Pie made from local NY apples. 
This is one of Skip’s demo paintings. 
The tables themselves were pretty interesting! 
Skip will be back next year, as usual, and it is not too early to start thinking of signing up for this popular workshop, as many of the people in this year’s class has already signed up for next year.
Mixed Media Paper Collage with Fran Skiles
November 3, 2015
“Fran has a gentle approach to teaching; she encourages & inspires her students through her lectures and kindness. Your workshops are still the best of all the others that I have attended (Maine, Vermont, NY, CT).” – Maryfran L.
“Great pace, attitude! Lack of stress, love her process of day by day to avoid ‘pre-planning.’ Lets students react to the present opportunities.“
Another great workshop with Fran Skiles was enjoyed a couple of weeks ago. Here are some photos for you to enjoy a glimpse into the fun things that happened. 
Freshly made brioche to keep the students nourished! 
If you didn’t have the chance to get into this popular workshop, don’t worry, Fran will be back in 2017.
