Cindy was such a professional, patient teacher. She made the class fun but I still feel like I learned something. It was so relaxing! All the girls afterward couldn't stop talking about how fun the class was and what a great experience we had. It was such a fun opportunity to bond. Plus, Cindy's prices are a steal for the quality of the service. I can't recommend this business enough. I would gladly hire her again if the occasion ever arises. Thank you for a wonderful time, Cindy. We will certainly treasure this memory!

Not only does it feel lucky to have access to these artists, but the workshops are also surprisingly affordable. The on-campus housing is clean, private, and affordable, as well. Because workshops take place in Summertime, in an area that is typically a wintertime destination, there are plenty of good restaurants, accommodations, and extra activities to do while in the area. Grateful to have found this place. This will be my third workshop here.

Fletcher Gallery is a small gallery off Mill Road. I wasn't sure if they were open at first and if…read morethey even allowed the public instead but I took the risk and stepped in. It has two side's but you can only enter from the right. There are also two offices upstairs. The people working there didn't mind if we looked around. They also thanked us for coming in.The first few paintings were very eye catching and colorful of ballerina's and sacred figures but as we ventured further in towards the other side they began turning into more adult based photography with lots of nudity. I wasn't really expecting that and I had my teenage son with me so I decided it wouldn't be appropriate to bring him any further. There really weren't too many pieces inside. In less that five minutes you could likely carefully view the entire gallery. They did also have some bust sculptures in addition to the painted portraits and black and white nudes. It's worth a peek if you are passing by but it may be a good idea to leave the kids out of this one.

An astute buyer can find amazing value on collectible works of art, and people shopping for lesser works can find great bargains. Some of the tips that I can give anyone is to do your best to really shop the gallery at pre-auctions so that you can make up your mind about those things that you think you want to bid on. It's unlikely that you will get all of them since there is often risk bidding on a number of the pieces. Then again it's likely that you can get a piece or 2 that slip between the cracks and buy them for a fraction of their value. It's also a lot of fun. - Ken from Woodstock

To the right of the school building, there's a "Welcome to our Sculpture Park and Nature Tail" sign but not much nearby. Yep, the nature trail part and you'll end up walking at least a half mile and maybe more before you start to spot the sculptures on a trail that branches off to the right. If you're here in the warmer weather, you'll want to be prepared with some bug repellent spray as they were all around us today. But we managed to find the sculptures and enjoyed the trail. I'm definitely a fan. Note that there is going to be limited cell coverage in this part of Woodstock, so as always, bring a friend when you're hiking! [Review 11493 overall, 1273 of 2019.]
