Susan Andrews & Carolyn Fellman.
Moravia, New York

July 9 - 14... Session 1: "Wildlife" (Email for availability)
July 23 - 28. Session 2: "Wildlife"
Let us consider ourselves in a garden-
an ideal time, an ideal space.
Let us together become storytellers.
Our premise is abundance! Reunion! Regeneration!
Our means is joyful persistence.
Our purpose is art.
It is respect for life in all its variety that will ensure the continued vitality of our own species. Spots, stripes, scales, feathers, paws, claws, leaf, tendril, bud, berry, vine-- Life is a wondrous continuum that enchants, informs and supports all human endeavor. In this studio retreat we'll take inspiration from mythology, biology, art history, and personal history as we investigate the connections between our natural surround and our selves.

Join us for six days considering the wild and the tame, as we explore masks, puppets, paper theaters, shrines and shadow puppets. We will mix and cross media working in cloth, wood, paper, metal and found objects. Technique includes carving, embossing, printing, painting, stitching and papier mache as we court mermaids, mice and Minotaurs in our Noah's ark of possibilities.

Sessions includes slides, films, examples and hands on demonstrations.
$635 includes lab fee, 5 extravagant, healthy lunches, 2 sumptuous dinners, and daily lavish snacks.
* Special bonus: Last session ends just in time for the Route 90 weekend of 50 miles of garage sales!
