Paris Can Wait! Kelly and Friends Go Creating: An Immersive Art Adventure in Durfort, France June 11-18th, 2019
Travel sparks ideas and
inspires new ways of seeing and making art. Having traveled back and forth
across the U.S.
Did I mention the waterfall behind the house?
In this truly one of a kind workshop, we will let the local colors, flora, fauna and other daily discoveries of a medieval artisan village, Durfort in Southern France, be our guide.
Did I mention the art stores, bookshops, art museums? Those famous French flea markets? The Cathedral? All within driving distance.
We will begin our week by creating a hardcover journal from scratch. I love studio time, but I am
also a big believer in learning from experience and being inspired by everything. So, we will take our art- making and inspiration beyond the inviting walls of La Cascade and learn to capture
the moment, gleaning ideas while on-the-go in beautiful Durfort.
Our time together in France
Did I mention the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec? A mere 70 minute drive away.
This will be an immersive experience like no other.
Before we travel, I will
create a private Facebook group where we can get to know one another. I will
also send lists of art, books, films, music and more that will prime you for
our adventure.
Art, adventure, creativity, inspiration and new friendships await you in beautiful Southern France.
I hope you will join us.
