Create an Heirloom Family Story Book Summer Workshop
August 9th-13th
This is an in-person gathering. HALLELUJAH! ... we will insure people feel safe (*see below)...
When Timothy helped create this workshop in China and it was a meaningful and fun experience for all. You don't have to be an artist. Timothy will create a safe place to experiment... he will show you how to draw simple figures... you will choose a single story from your family history and create a handmade story book. We will discuss our family stories. We will work together, listen to music (some recorded, some live) and drink coffee. This book will outlast you. What story from your family do you want to preserve? It might become a bedtime story-book for your great-grandchildren. Maybe you'll make more on your own later.
This Workshop will meet for 5 days straight, Monday-Friday, tentatively scheduled for August 9th-13th, 2021 in a home/porch near the Saint Croix River 50 minutes from Minneapolis). You might choose to stay in Stillwater, there are some beautiful hotels and B &B's (contact Timothy for suggestions). You might choose to commute from home. We will work from 10:30am-3:30 each day. Day long coffee, tea and water will be available. A light lunch will be provided. Your fee includes a blank-page story book, a beautiful work environment, light lunch, art materials and instruction... all you'll need to create.
This workshop can host up to 10 participants. Cost is $290.
* We ask that you either have had a vaccine or that you receive a negative PCR test after August 5th and then self quarantine until our time together. Thank you.
