Beautiful Paintings and Tapestries

This Winter Newsletter is reaching you later than usual as I had a bit of foot surgery at the end of November. I'm recovering well and look forward to seeing you in the coming year.

Partly due to the recession and parly just needing to travel less, most of the 2012 workshops will take place in my West Terrace Studio in Eastbourne. With lower overheads I am able to reduce the cost of the workshops to you.

There are more workshops and each one will have a maximum of 8 students. So if you'd like to attend a particular workshop, please book as soon as you can to secure a place.

All painting materials will be provided for the West Terrace workshops as will coffee and tea. You can bring you own lunch or go to one of the many cafes nearby. I will give you a parking permit so you can park on my road. The day runs from 10-3:30 with a lunch break.

The one day West Terrace workshops take place on Thurdays and two day workshops at weekends-see under 'UK Workshops for dates.

As well as Flowers, Fruit & Vegetables and Life painting West Terrace workshops, there is also a number of weaving workshops, with weaving materials available. Beginners are welcome on both the painting and weaving workshops.

For those who enjoy staying and working in the same place there will be courses, as in previous years, at the Cavendish Hotel. These will follow the established the format of resident arriving on Thursday in time for the evening meal and continuing with three days of painting, finishing on Sunday afternoon. All meals and accommodation are included in the cost. Non-resident students are also welcome.

There is one exception to the Eastbourne-based workshops. I will hold a weekend Flower workshop in Manchester in August with an added optional Life day on the following Monday. This workshop will take place at Luther King house for both residents and non-residents. Parking provided. Beginners welcome.

I welcome applications from Art Clubs and can provide tailor made workshops.

I will be taking several short visits to my apartment in Foligno this year but the remaining weeks are available for rent. It is an inspirational place to paint and share with like-minded individuals (sleeps 4-6). Special rate for students is £450 per week for the apartment. See 'Apartment' on this website for further details.

I intend to participate in the Eastbourne Open Houses, dates still to be set.

I hope you'll be able to attend a workshop and spend some days painting or weaving

Iwish you time for your creatvie work in 2012.

All good wishes,

Elda Abramson
