Workshop participants will explore and paint the same coastal scenery enjoyed by the summer residents at the turn of the 20th century. All meals are included in the workshop fee as well as specially planned optional evening activities designed to extend your learning from the day’s workshops, including a private concert by award-winning Celtic Fiddle player, Katherine Moller, and A Special Program in October, for Indigenous People’s Day weekend, an evening program about Native American Basketry by Catherine Hunter, in the Victorian parlor of Hubbard House.
