last year, i went on one of the most fun and beautiful teaching trips...to the amalfi coast in italy (sigh!). check out the view the view from my classroom...
it was quite hard to concentrate ;)
and i am lucky enough to be returning at the end of march for the 2009 event...put on by these two fabulous women, who have so much happiness and passion for what they do, it truly made the weekend what it was...
now for the exciting part...they are kindly letting me give away a spot to the PACS'09 here on ye olde blog! what that means is you will make your own way to italy from your part of the globe, then come to all 3 days of classes/crops/parties for free - choosing whichever classes you wish! and there are some fab fab teachers including miss elsie flannigan herself, and our favourite 'chin-earring' (ivy still talks about it) arty-gal celine navarro! i'm hoping i get to crash both their classes!
*just to be clear - the giveaway does not include flights/accommodation, it is for the 3 days of CLASSES ONLY :)
so if interested, you have until next wednesday to leave a comment and be in the draw! (check out travelzoo.com for cheap deals to europe from the us)
i can't wait to be back in italy eating pizza and gelato! and mick is pretty happy about the tough life he will be facing with the girls while i am in my workshops...
have a happy weekend!

ooooooooohhhh....wouldn't this be the BEST 40th Birthday Gift?!?!?!?
Posted by: deebee | January 17, 2009 at 12:23 AM
OMG what an absolute dream that would be! I would so bring my Mother with me as she got to go two years ago and LOVED it...all she has done since is talk about it...making me crazy jealous and so anxious to see the beauty of that place with my own eyes. To be taking art classes there makes it even more amazing! You are a real doll to be offering this as the sponsors!

Can't I just come and be your helper? Wipe the sweat from your brow, bring you beverages, massage your feet.....
