The 2011, Sketching Workshop will take place in "la ferme de Keraret" sometime around the end of August, beginning of September. Dates to be determined upon my return from France this August.
Plougrescant, where the workshop takes place is located on the northwestern coast of Brittany on the “Côte de granite rose”, an impressive stretch of pink granite-strewn beaches and quaint fishing villages. Rich with Celtic heritage, it boasts a fascinating variety of history, customs, and architecture.
Lodging will be at the “Chambre d’Hôte de Keraret,” a rustic old farmhouse situated on the estuary of the Trieux River near Plougrescant, a fishing village three miles north of Treguier. You can take long walks in the "chemins des douaniers" along the estuary, passing coves and white sand beaches to the island-dotted sea.
Meals will consist of hearty breakfasts and Elizabeth’s exquisite
dinners served with wine and cider and prepared with farm fresh produce
and local seafood.
Cost: $1600 includes 8-day workshop, lodging, eight breakfasts and dinners and transportation for excursions. Transportation to and from Guingamp are not included. Transportation will be provided between Guingamp and la ferme de Keraret, where the workshop is taking place.
Non-participants will pay $200 less than “regular”participants, but will still have to pay the $400 deposit.
To hold your place, send me a registration form. The $400 non-refundable deposit should be sent by March 15, 2011. The balance of $1200 will be due May 15, 2011. See registration form for refund policy.
Note: The cost of $1600 will be subject to the current exchange rate. It will be an 8 day workshop instead of 10.
