OMG. Who knew all this was in Nelson BC!! Diane Walters has an AMAZING set up here. Her suite and studio are just incredible. I’ve already talked to her about returning next September and/or winter 2028. Frigging great here!! Took in a coffee shop, the Farmer’s Market, KSA and a cruise about town to get a fee for it. Feels good, I’d say!
OMG! This may have been my greatest art experience yet! The last 3 weeks on Salt Spring Island has been nothing less than incredible. Julie’s studio is so great and her enthusiasm, expertise and patience really helped me. I learned so much.
A trip over to Victoria to see Lyle Lovett, stayed with Shelley in Sidney, 31 completed pieces, 24+ to finish in January, a 3 day intermediate/advanced wheel throwing workshop, great food, wonderful accommodations with Julie’s friend Andrea, a few visits with Kim, friendly people, beautiful weather, stunning surroundings. I am so thankful and grateful to have been able to do this.
I took an extra day to just rest and sightsee a little before heading home tomorrow via Nelson, BC to scout out Diane’s place as a potential future winter escape.
Such a great experience.
