Finally my website is up and going for my Taos class this August. We will be painting pages and making books in the Stables Gallery, right off the plaza downtown. The casitas are ready to book with Lovey of Taos Lodging (mention the class, she is giving a discount). The casitas are just so cosy and within walking distance of the Gallery. You could actually park your car and walk the whole week.

The first time I went to teach in Taos, about six years ago, I was hooked. The colors, the sky, the food, the vistas and sunsets sank into me, and now I go back to satisfy the corner of my heart that belongs to the desert southwest. This is a meditative class, unlike many I teach, because we have all week, not six hours, to accomplish what we like. We eat when we want to, trip around to galleries and museums and have happy hour on the deck at Taos lodging. If it rains we enjoy the moisture from inside this historic building, painting away. Luscious.

We will be exploring the poetry and palette of the desert, and the projects are entirely up to you. I bring far more than one person, aside from Mary Ann, can do. I will be ready with at least two book structures (the Secret Belgian Binding and one other) that we will make from the pages we create.

Here it is

I’ll try to rein myself in. Am so looking forward to this.

This sounds wonderful and me and the sisters gave it some serious thought. Unfortunately our schedules didn’t work (I’ll be going to Arkansas probably that week when my second grandchild is born), but you inspired us so much that Corky and I are going to Santa Fe/Taos in May and staying at Taos Lodging (Casita No. 8 to be exact) so we’ll have notes to compare when we see you at Valley Ridge in September. It won’t be the same without you there, of course, but we’ll do our best to have the Taos experience.
