2009 WORKSHOP

THE ARTIST AND THE POET IN MEXICO

March 15 - 21, 2009

Sas Colby with Christine Hemp in Puerto Vallarta

Magical realism, vivid color, and wild imagination will be the focus of this week with artist-poet combo Sas Colby and Christine Hemp. In the sensual landscape of Puerto Vallarta, we will explore the cross-over delights of writing and visual art, discovering how they feed one another. With Mexico as our muse, we’ll adventure into wordplay and free associating between the visual and the verbal. Christine and Sas have taught together in New Mexico, California and in Southern France. In this year’s workshop, Mexico will be the catalyst for creative interaction. Mindful that we are traveling light, participants will be instructed to put together an art kit of supplies so that each will complete a sketchbook and a notebook full of art and writing from our week together. No experience is necessary—just an appetite for creating art.

Five days of instruction and six nights lodging, based on double occupancy, $1,500. Register on-line through Hacienda Mosaico.
