If you would like to move to another class, or take both classes, or know of friends who could join you please do not hesitate to be in touch. The workshop package starts with arrival (September 30 and October 5)
Nita teaches a high energy condensed instruction for three days. Due to the structure of the class the number of instructional hours during the workshop may be reduced from other years. However, the studio is still available 24 hours a day. The day before her 3 teaching days is a day when Den Robertson, our director, prepares you for Nita’s unique and specific teaching techniques. You will receive the agenda for that day when you check in. Nita will have her books for sale in the Art Corner Gift Shop and will have a book signing at the final reception prior to dinner. These items will be sent 6 weeks prior to the workshop:
