FALL FOLIAGE PLEIN AIR PAINTING -

WORKSHOP RETREAT

at Good Commons in Plymouth,Vermont

September 26-29th, 2011 

En plein air is a French expression which means “in the open air”, specifically in regards to painting out of doors. Just as Monet, Cezanne, and VanGogh made Nature their studio, you are invited to paint with professional artist/instructor Lizzi Shippert in the awe-inspiring autumn beauty of south-central Vermont.

In this workshop, Lizzi will guide you in understanding & depicting the elements of landscape – perspective, light and color in the drawing or painting media of your choice. Lizzi believes that the making of art should be joyful. Workshop activities are paced to relax the novice and refresh the experienced painter. All experience levels and all drawing or painting media are welcome. (A materials list will be provided upon registration.) 

~ Why not widen your artistic horizons this year? ~

Writers Circle Creative Writing Workshops for Children & Adults in West Orange, Maplewood, & Madison, NJ, July 5, 2011 - August 22,2011

The Writers Circle announces its latest series of creative writing workshops for children and adults. The summer schedule runs from July 5 – August 22. Classes are offered in West Orange, Maplewood and Madison, NJ.

The Writers Circle, founded and directed by novelist Judith Lindbergh, offers writing workshops that emphasize creativity, process over product, and a deep respect for the uniqueness of each writer's voice. Children's classes use a multidisciplinary approach that includes role-playing, music, movement and tactile experience, encouraging children to dive into the excitement of playing with words while developing their writing skills.

Workshops in Maplewood and West Orange are taught by Ms. Lindbergh. Madison classes are led by novelist and poet Michelle Cameron.

Summer children's classes include Storytellers Circle, For Boys Only!, Story Magic, and the Teen Writers Circle, ranging in ages from kindergarten through high school. The Young Storymakers, a invitation- or submission-only children's workshop, currently runs only in West Orange, with plans to establish this group in Madison in the fall.

Adult workshops are available both mornings and evenings.

Madison classes meet at Sages Pages, 300 Main Street, Madison.
West Orange children's classes are held at Luna Stage, 555 Valley Street and adult workshops at the South Orange-Maplewood Adult School and St. George's Episcopal Church, Maplewood.

Registration for the summer session has already begun. Complete information is available at www.writerscircleworkshops.com.

For more information or to schedule an interview, contact Judith Lindbergh at 973-243-7899 or info@writerscircleworkshops.com.
