What’s happening this summer in Italy?

Well. I ‘m sure glad you asked, ‘cos we have two workshops (we being me and the chaps) and here they are

English Flier Finished

This in the glorious wild lands of Northern Tuscany.

And then for the creative soul searchers, we have an amazing event

Haikus and paintings

Starstone Montefiore Creativity Workshop June 16 weekend

This is Annabel, who has fully integrated with a painting. It’s incredible what Belgian girls can do! The weekend really was an explosion of creativity and between us we created not only paintings but 100 Haikus which we swiftly dispatched to California and the Universe in general (aka CTI’s creative artists forum).

It never ceases to amaze me, the power of group activity.

5 in Italy

Sea air, new friends and good Italian food. But most importantly of all, a profound reconnection with our creativity.

Snowed up

This is a new painting I struggled with, possibly because I was snowed in for five days with no heating and no electricity. It’s emotional (probably)

Creativity in Sant’Ippolito

new red ptg 2

Dear friends,

I am running a Creativity weekend in March, another experimental workshop for a small number of people; similar to my session last Spring in Appignano.

It’s experimental in that sense that I want us together to try out new ideas, strategies I will use in Starstone sessions later in the year.

The venue will be our home at Sambuco in Le Marche and for a small group of about 8 people. It will be hands on stuff; making a mess, playing, lots of fun and laughter (guaranteed).

As well as playing like children we will also walk together, cook together, relax and delight in each others’ company.

Dates; Saturday and Sunday March 19th and 20th

The total cost is E125 to include meals, accommodation and workshop.

For those coming from UK, extra days B&B can be arranged. Ryanair flights are less than E20 single at this time.

For those of you who don’t know Sambuco and our beautiful area of Le Marche, here’s our Sant’Ippolito website http://sibillinislow.com/Sibillini_Slow/Welcome.html

I do hope this finds you well and I send you my very best wishes for the New Year.

Michael

a fire painting

I painted this in my usual unconscious fashion, only to realise I’d been having a conversation with Jack about the volcano in Sicily (Etna of course)
