I haven’t fallen off the edge of the world or building.

Instead, I’ve been incredibly busy with a new project:  getting our house ready for a sale and move. We’ve been working on it since mid-summer. The hardest part was breaking down the classroom and office and returning the space to a living room and dining room. Finally, that’s done.

So what happens to the classes and workshops?
For now nothing will change. My home-studio classroom is now in its original space—the front room (den) and can hold 10 in a pinch, but I’m still limiting classes to six people. Once the dust settles here, I plan on hosting a workshop in November (Drawing Birds) and December (Pen & Ink). Travel sketching workshops will continue as always—this next year we’re headed to Aix en Provence, France, in late April (see below for class and workshop details). My website will be updated soon.

Where are you moving to?
That’s a good question. We originally thought we were going to Port Townsend or Sequim, WA, which may still happen, but we’re now investigating the Vancouver and Camas areas.

Will you stop teaching?
Nah, I’ll won’t stop (until I drop). I will be converting everything to online classes, which I am in the process of learning how to operate. In fact, this new direction will be far better than my limited brick and mortar set up. Here’s why:

• It will be live
• I can offer the class to 20 students per session
• You can live anywhere, no commuting needed
• No concern about weather (unless your power goes out)
• You can learn in your pj’s.
• You can meet new people. Since the program is online and live, you will be able to share ideas, ask questions as is done in any other class.

Will you continue your newsletters?
Yes, just give me at least another month and I’ll be back in the saddle again, seeking new and interesting art horizons to discuss. In fact, any subject ideas are always welcomed!
