Travel Workshops and Seminars are designed for immersion in both seeing and making artwork. Participants hone sketchbook methods as a powerful and portable practice enabling artwork to continue during these adventures. Each travel seminar tries to find a balance between trekking to important sites and using retreat time for reflection and integrative work.
