Door County, Wisconsin
I spent five days in beautiful Door County, Wisconsin in order to teach a workshop at the Peninsula School of Art. The workshop was Monday to Wednesday but I arrived early enough on Sunday to take a good look around and left on Thursday morning. The extra time was nice and it gave me the opportunity to do a little journaling of my own and a tiny bit of sight-seeing too. Bob and I had spent a week last year up there when Jessica was working as Stage Manager for Door Shakespeare in Bailey's Harbor and I had the opportunity to ask about the possibility of teaching at the art school. We arranged everything over the winter and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and the workshop (photos to come).
