Collage Journeys in Vermont: The Overview

As I mentioned on Tuesday, I rented a car and drove up to Vermont for Jane Davies' Collage Journeys in Vermont workshop.

There's a lot to share, so I thought I'd do it in installments.  Today I'm going to give you a brief overview of the event overall.

The workshop was held in rural Vermont.  No cell phone signal and plenty of wildlife.

We enjoyed the company of all three fire trucks except when one was briefly removed for a bath.

The fire trucks also proved useful for storage.

There was much painting and collaging and creative play!

Every day at noon a siren would sound in the Fire House, letting us know that it was time for lunch.

Then it was back to work, until it was time for dinner.

Each night a drive home down a pitch black windy country road.

Each morning a sense of renewed energy for that day's artistic adventure!

I'll share more of the journey on Thursday with a bit about each of my fellow students.  And next week I'll share some more of the work that I did and talk about what I'm taking away from the experience.

Thanks for stopping by!
