Our hostess Lynne Fellowes doesnt quite look like this YET, but she assures us Bali can make you look and feel years younger
Here's the preliminary plan:
POQ Art House retreat - 14th-22nd June 2010
Take a creative journey to Bali, the Island of the Gods. Immerse yourself in the culture, delight your senses and invigorate your soul.
Art House invites fellow artists to join us on a week’s art retreat of paper possibilities. We will combine breath-taking scenic day trips with workshops, papermaking & textile visits, cultural sites, nature walks and more. Photographic opportunities abound.
You will experience the warmth & hospitality of the Balinese people, sample local cuisine, explore the cultural & artistic centres of Ubud and Mas, meet local artists, visit the mountains & take time for relaxation and pampering. The offerings, the ceremonies, daily cultural events all add to the color and spectacle of this beautiful island.
At the Art House Studio (Rumah Seni) we will work and play on a journey of discovery with a focus on paper, fibre & artist books. A delicious lunch provided.
