Red and Blue in Padova

The Red and Blue Art Factory
Bluer and Eldridge painting together last weekend in 33C heat. Look like elves don't they?
They play chess when waiting for the paint to dry; are fed titbits and cool drinks by Liliana when flagging, and visited occasionally by Minu and Malf.
Ceramacist Paolo Nannini is soon to arrive with Bluer's fired pots.

Creativity in Sant’Ippolito
Dear friends,
I am running a Creativity weekend in March, another experimental workshop for a small number of people; similar to my session last Spring in Appignano.
It’s experimental in that sense that I want us together to try out new ideas, strategies I will use in Starstone sessions later in the year.
The venue will be our home at Sambuco in Le Marche and for a small group of about 8 people. It will be hands on stuff; making a mess, playing, lots of fun and laughter (guaranteed).
As well as playing like children we will also walk together, cook together, relax and delight in each others’ company.
Dates; Saturday and Sunday March 19th and 20th
The total cost is E125 to include meals, accommodation and workshop.
For those coming from UK, extra days B&B can be arranged. Ryanair flights are less than E20 single at this time.
For those of you who don’t know Sambuco and our beautiful area of Le Marche, here’s our Sant’Ippolito website http://sibillinislow.com/Sibillini_Slow/Welcome.html
I do hope this finds you well and I send you my very best wishes for the New Year.
Michael

La sede sarà la nostra casa il Sambuco nelle Marche il gruppo sarà massimo di 8 persone .
Ci autogestiremo, parteciperemo attivamente a tutte le attività , faremo un sacco di disordine e giocheremo , il divertimento e le risate saranno garantite Ma, oltre a giocare come i bambini cucineremo e ci rilasseremo e faremo delle belle passeggiate , sarà un vero piacere stare in compagnia e ritrovarsi bambini.

Creativity Voyages
StarStone is hosting three workshops in 2011, two in Italy at Montefiore, Le Marche and one in UK, in Norfolk.
Each of the workshops are complete Creative Journeys
Our extraordinary workshops are designed to rekindle your creativity. You will begin the exciting journey of revitalising those parts of yourself which may have fallen asleep over time. Your StarStone facilitators will re-awaken and challenge you, so that you will fully connect with the very essence of your original creative self.
Montefiore June 16th to 19th… RETREAT
The purpose of this retreat weekend is to find the still point that reveals everything as it is in our lives up until now. We step into that point through disengaging, stepping back, creating space, witnessing, unplugging and un-winding. Paradoxically, through this process, we find we are revitalised and see what is really important, what we can bring to the fore that will refocus us and create the next stage of our lives.
Montefiore Sept 15th to 18th… REFLECT
In this refreshing and challenging retreat we touch upon the very essence and significance of living within the present ‘time now’. As we reach that still point of the present moment, we see our selves reflected back through the eyes of the world around us; we experience what it is to be fully living in the present and how this is in fact the realm in which creativity waits for us, the feeding ground for poetry, music, painting, (indeed all the expressive arts), and where neither past nor future hold sway.
Voewood, Norfolk December 9th to 11th… EVOLVE (to be confirmed)
The focus of this retreat is individual evolution. To evolve is to begin to create ourselves as a clearer expression of our real and authentic essence. To thus finally evolve as a creative being, seeing each day as a creative opportunity where we become the master of your fate and metamorphasise into something new. What is it we can become? Anything and everything of course. It is where we begin to create a whole new cycle in our existence.
StarStone retreats are designed to take you on an adventurous voyage of discovery. Join us and explore the reflections of your past, the mirror of your present and the image of your future.
