Sighs and Secrets: Open to scheduling in the future, in any exotic location. A multi-media exploration of the wonders of Southern France and our own stories. For this week-long workshop in France, we’ll explore a technique (or several) each day, leading to a cloth/paper/found object journal with small dolls and elements of Doll Making as a Transformative Process. Transfers and effects with Golden Media, Embroidery, Drawing, Using Found Objects, Construction, Story Telling about ourselves and our experiences. An chat group prior to the class will get everyone pumped up and prepared.  Instruction and studio time in the morning, field trips in the afternoon, more studio time with Pamela in the evening or relaxing on the patio.

The Workshop: Instruction in a new arena each morning, culminating in a personal accordion book with pockets for the dolls and mixed media objects you will create, an expandable panel of experiments with Golden polymer media and the images we will collect on our afternoon expeditions into the surrounding area. There will be open studio in the evenings in the air-conditioned space at the top of the building, where you can work night and day if you wish.

There will be an online discussion group with Pamela prior to the adventure, so she can tailor the class specifically to the needs and desires of the participants.

The Accommodations: La Cascade’s four bedrooms are double occupancy (two twin beds) with three shared bathrooms. The beautiful new art studio is located on the third floor of the house and is available to you at all times. Living room, dining room, and a large outside terrace that goes down to the river are part of the home. We have our own personal chef to provide exquisite and healthy meals, and Pamela will provide the dinner at least one night.
