2. All the Elements: Metal, Wood, Stone & Books - Jill K. Berry - July 7-11, 2008

What draws us to this place? A magical thread winds through the desert southwest and pulls us in. This landscape offers bounty for the artist, and we will use those offerings as an inspiration for the art we create in this class.

Spend a week celebrating the colors, textures and elements of Taos and come away with shrines, books, trinkets and treasures. We will work with metal, stone, wood, found objects, painting and drawing, polymer clay and paper. We will share the poetry of the desert, and use its symbolic language to add content to our work in a contemplative, supportive environment.

For all levels of experience. Cost $590     Payment date June 15, 2008

3. Layers: Collage, Books & the Abstracted Landscape
Gwen Fox & Jill K. Berry - July 14-18, 2008
