We have just finished the first of three weeks of workshops in Orvieto. What a wonderful week where Tracie and Marylin Huskamp helped their students take pictures and transform them into works of art. We had a week of fun, sun, food, wine, art, vineyards, cooking, Etruscans and Italians. We also had Discover Orvieto going on with coffee, cheese and meat, engaging our senses and just enjoying Italy.
Our wonderful group has now split up heading north and south to see Rome, Tuscany, Cinque Terre, Milan, Venice and Florence. Kristi and I are in Sulmona, Ovid’s birthplace, and a spectacular town set in the mountains. More on it later.
We will welcome our next two groups over the coming weeks to work under the tutelage of Lisa Walton and then Misty Mawn. Following are a few pictures of our week just concluded. Ah, it goes too fast! Ciao!

Oh Bill and Kristi… I can HARDLY BELIEVE we are home from such a dreamy adventure… if we had the chance… Marylin and I would relive our days over and over again.
We are SO EXCITED to return in 2012!!! Thank you THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for such an exquisite week. You both were the absolute PERFECT hosts!
sounds like heaven to me to make art in Italy!
