Here is the updated info for Skip's June and July 2019 Workshops. Please read through this information letter in its' entirety. Even if you are a repeat student, there are important changes you need to know about.
2019 price for the 1-week workshop, tuition only, is $650and for the 2-week workshop, tuition only, $1200. DEPOSIT to confirm enrollment in the class is $300 The BALANCE is due in full the first day of class. Lodging and meals are not included in workshop tuition.
All fees for non-resident students will be due on the first day of class in checks payable to The Hotel Pemaquid or cash.
Class begins at 9 am, breaks for lunch at noon and runs until about 4:00 each day, Monday through Friday. Friday will be for final a critique. This allows a full five days of class, plus, access to the studio on Saturday and Sunday between classes. The carriage house studio is open until 8 pm.
The studio space is an open 3 bay carriage house(garage) with a bathroom, sink, fridge, stove and coffee maker. It will accommodate 16 students comfortably, each with one half of a 6′ table. Students who lodge at the Hotel enjoy painting near their rooms, on the cottage porches, Hotel lawn or en plein aire, on location. Students who rent offsite often paint at their lodging and commute to the class.
If you require an easel, you must provide your own. Also bring water containers, rags, paper towels, etc. Bring one or two light plastic drop cloths (dollar store) and painter's tape to cover your work area from splashes.
Because there is a hotel rental over the carriage house, access to the studio is limited to 8:30 am – 8:00 pm during the week, and from 9:30am-5: 00 pm on the Saturday and Sunday between class.
Non-resident students may park in the lot to the right of the hotel, all the way to the back. Please do not park in front of the Carriage House, in the guest parking area, blocking driveways or on the lawns.
After a day of hard work, it is wonderful to enjoy getting to know your fellow painters over a glass of wine or soft drink and snacks. We often gather outside the hotel on a low stone wall or in front of the Carriage House. Feel free to bring your favorite beverages and snacks to share for our social time. Many lifelong friendships have been made and tended at The Wall! Ice and vending machines are available in the laundry room.
Students not staying at the Hotel during the Workshop will be charged a$5 per item handling fee for packages shipped to and stored at The Hotel Pemaquid. The Hotel cannot store or be liable for packages received more than the week before the workshop so plan accordingly and do not have packages sent way in advance.
