January 9-17, 2012 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 Bask in the warm sun, walk pristine white sand beaches, float in turquoise blue waters. Hike to petroglyphs, ruins, and craggy promontories with views across the water to distant islands. Snorkel above coral labyrinths, hawksbill turtles, brilliantly hued tangs and parrot-fish. Write in the shade of the Maho tree, as cool trade winds blow and magnificent frigate birds soar effortlessly overhead. 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: VIERS (Virgin Islands Environmental Resource Station), St. John, USVI. Go to www.viers.org for site description, map, and photos. Cost: $1375 - ($1300 up till Sept 15th) Includes tuition, 3 meals/day and accommodations with hot showers in private or semi-private rooms, excursions.
