A Week in the Oiseaux Sisters' Moravia, NY Studios
Susan Andrews & Carolyn Fellman

July 21 - 26, 2013

Kitchen creations
mixed media play

Join us for a joyful and productive week long mixed media exploration with a collage aesthetic. We’ll work with a mix of media, large and small, solo and collaboratively to craft objects and focus intentions. Our well equipped studios are set up for working with wood, print, paper, paint, metal, cloth and papier maché. We offer technique demos and individual problem solving. Focus on one technique and/or format in depth, or sample and mix your media. We’ll discuss strategies for continuity, mechanisms for change, issues of scale, portability and presentation.

We will provide a wealth of images to open your imagination, a beautiful setting to work in, time for sharing ideas and quiet contemplation. You will have access to our library of images and our considerable collection of Asian and Mexican folk art.

All sessions will combine one on one and small group coaching with class projects, exercises and critiques. We will provide handouts on many techniques. Prior to classes, we will send a Reading List, as well as basic tool kit and materials lists.

Moravia: Our studio is located in the historic village of Moravia, NY. The village is charming and pedestrian friendly. We are easy walking distance of shopping, restaurants, a library and post office. We are just a short walk from Filmore Glen, a state park with swimming, camping, and beautiful hiking trails. There are several other lovely hiking trails along the creek, which meanders through the village.

Our Fingerlakes area of upstate New York is rich with natural beauty. Lakes, parks, gorges, waterfalls, and forests alternate with rolling farm land and vineyards. We are a 25 minute ride to Ithaca, NY, home of Moosewood and many other good restaurants, interesting shops, movies and cultural events at Cornell University and Ithaca College. We are just a short drive from Mackenzie-Childs' pottery extravagant lakeside headquarters (with aviary, roving exotic cattle, factory and second's shop) and the Aurora Shoe Outlet.
