There are lots of reasons why people take a creative holiday…rest, relaxation, education, adventure, fun, new horizons, just to name a few.
Lisa’s Gryphon answers all those calls, and then some. Here’s why…
We are customer-driven in our programs. This means we select the best and most experienced instructors; artists themselves who have honed their craft and can share their wealth of knowledge to all levels of artists, from absolute beginner to advanced professional.
We limit the size of our workshops. This provides you, our customer, with plenty of individual time with the instructor. It certainly is different than those other workshops of 20 or more students, where you HOPE you get some personal feedback from the instructor at least ONCE!
Here’s just one example from a student:
“…has a gentle and joyous way that is contagious…Shares her painting experience generously and in a way that painters of all levels can grasp.” -B.G.
And another:
“…was exceptional! Every time I asked for help on a drawing, she not only answered me specifically, but went on to explain the principles involved so the knowledge could be applied [to] other artwork.” -J.C.
We organize day-trips that coordinate with the teacher’s medium and lessons, giving
you an opportunity to experience the surrounding countryside in a 3-fold way: as an artist with an eye for beauty, as a student with a thirst for knowledge, and as a visitor being immersed in a new locale.
One teacher has said it like this:
“Working with Lisa has been wonderful. She coordinates all the logistics for the attendees, and I am hired to teach the workshop. She makes it easy for me to be the ‘best me I can be’ for my students. She and I coordinated our itinerary based on what I wanted to teach, and what we wanted to see, and she advised on how to fit it together so the lessons and the sites we visited complemented each other. Ten days is the perfect amount of time for a meaningful workshop, as well as a very enjoyable journey learning about a wonderful region!” -R.S.
These are just a few of the reasons people join our 10-day, all-inclusive* workshops. Perhaps you will join us for one in the near future. You’ll be so glad you did…not only will you make new friends, but you’ll come back on fire with renewed creative energy and ideas!
