Join clay artist Alan Steinberg and writer Fred Taylor for a relaxing and
inspirational week of writing and clay sculpting in response to the intense
beauty of the Caribbean tropical paradise St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Indulge yourself under the renewing powers of warm sun, walk pristine white sand beaches and float luxuriously in turquoise blue waters. Rest in the shade with pen and paper in hand, as cool trade winds bend the fronds of coconut palms and magnificent frigate birds soar effortlessly overhead. Hike to petroglyphs and ruins through deep woods of the National Park under strangler figs and kapok trees, while geckos scurry underfoot and bananaquits call in the canopy.
Ramble past cacti and century plants to craggy volcanic promontories with views across the
water to distant islands.
Snorkel gin-clear waters, floating effortlessly above coral labyrinths, face to face with hawksbill turtles and brilliantly hued tangs and parrot-fish. Ground your spiritual connection to coral, rock and root, to flipper, fin and feather, as forms emerge by hand through the tactile earthiness of clay. Location: the Virgin Islands Environmental Resource Station, St. John, USVI. Go to www.viers.org for site description, map, and photos. Also Google St. John + photos. Cost: $1075. Includes tuition, 3 meals/day and accommodations with hot showers in private or semi-private rooms, + taxi on St John. This is half the cost of similar week long workshops at Maho Bay or in Costa Rica. Not included: plane fare, St Thomas taxi & Ferry to St John, snorkeling gear rentals (available on Island). Please register early to insure accommodations of choice. For further info: call Alan at 802 387 4820, Fred at 802 387 2681 Or email: Alans@sover.net ; | |||
