August 4-10, 2008 Complex Cloth: Textile Collage Workshop Peg Gignoux, instructor Explore and record surface, shape, color and line inspired by the rustic environment of Le Pin. You will be encouraged to step into fields, barns, attics and formal rooms to catalogue textures with cameras. We will draw from these images - creating sketches that will be the basis for textile collages.
September 8-14, 2008 Picture Books Jim Young, visiting artist/instructor Join author/illustrator Jim Young in a workshop in which you will combine story with illustrations to create a book dummy suitable for submission to a publisher.

Transform a tower or old stable into your personal art studio. We will be painting, drawing, stamping, stitching on cloth and paper.
