Get your Art On. Ice. Snow. Melt. Thaw.

 What a wonderful surprise arrived in my inbox this week.

Peter Buwalda, of Buwalda Studio is offering a series of winter workshops.



These will help you release your inner artist.  Or refresh it.  Or kick start it...  Or simply enhance it.


Whatever.  If you have ever longed to dabble with art, or if you are an experienced and accomplished artist, here's a wonderful wonderful way to spend a day --  snowshoeing the winter woods in the morning with Peter and your camera and sketch pad, then back into the cozy indoors and a cuppa... and a light lunch.

The first workshop focuses on the art of ice.

The second focuses on line, form and shadow.

The third takes on  line, motion and colour










And the fourth, for which hopefully snowshoes will not be required, but waterproof boots might be advised, looks at mark-making.

Bring your own favoured materials, or Buwalda Studio can supply you.


While the first one is set to roll out January 24th, we're posting all four of the courses here for you.  It is a steal of a deal, at $50 each of all four for just $100.00.




This would incorporate beautifully into a winter getaway weekend, a Gals' Getaway, for example, where you'd have a day on our ski trails, two great evenings together by our fireplace, and a day out with Peter in the studio.

Something to consider.
