Move up to the next level in a dynamic week of intense instruction and hands-on work (and it's a great social experience too!). |

Hotel Room ($450 for 6 nights)
We have arranged for each student to have a 6-night stay (Sunday through Friday) in a single room in a local hotel at a greatly reduced price. We'll make all the arrangements. Just tell me when you sign up that you need a hotel room.
Note, this is a VERY small town and amenities are few. The prices have been negotiated with the hotel and we don't anticipate a problem, but hope that you'll work with us if it comes down to it.
Meals
Lunches tend to be home-cooked, deli and/or buffet style so that students can pick
and choose foods that fit their diets. We try to accommodate everyone (within
reason - you're on your own for tofu - blech). We've also arranged for
excellent
breakfasts and dinners to be served at the hotel. Please feel free to bring wine or other beverages to share
(or contribute to the Monday night BBQ). We will
supply sodas, iced tea and other non-alcoholic drinks. Wine, beer and other
beverages are available at the hotel. It is essential that you discuss with
us in advance any special food needs or requests.
Meal Package
($200.00)
(includes dinner Sunday, breakfast, lunch and dinner
In your words:
Anyone who doesn't sign up for the food package is making a big mistake, I'm glad I was able to sign on. Many thanks to all of you for the wonderful food - it couldn't have been better. -- Val H. (student)
Be sure to read
all the small print, how to get here, cancellation policy, etc.
Classes are first come, first served and tend to fill early. I will either call you for your credit card information to hold your seat or email you to let you know if the class is full. Your ability to get into an Intensive will be based on interest in the track you've chosen. Until we talk and your deposit is paid your seat is not reserved.
Classes are very small (7 student maximum for 5-day classes and 10 students for 1- and 2-day classes).
Please, do not sign up unless you are very serious. With only 5 to 10 students per class, I cannot be generous about cancellations. The cancellation policy is here.
We supply everything, though there may be some optional items you want to bring along. If you have specific items (like photos or personal embellishments) you'd like to use in a project bring them and we'll see if we can incorporate them, otherwise, rely on me for all supplies and embellishments.
The classes are designed to be taken once or to be taken repeatedly. Students work with Christine to plan projects that will advance their current skills. Beginner to intermediate artists will be comfortable yet challenged in most classes. The classes complement each other nicely, moving gracefully between mixed-media and altered art, jewelry, bookbinding, paper marbling and much more. One of the benefits of the classes is learning from what other students are working on. As students work on individual projects, there is always cross-pollination.
Studio Equipment The Volcano Arts Studio is Christine's "working studio." You will be working with her equipment and you will be issued your own box full of hand-tools for the duration of the class.
