Intuitive Painting for the Soul
For Budget Travelers! (FREE to $100)
Awaken and free your creativity while you are experiencing Santa Fe. A unique city that stimulates and immerses you in brilliant color, pungent scents, savory tastes, luminous high desert light, and earthy textures.
Feel the creative urge rising – the urge to express! Now you can – even if you have never painted! Everyone is creative! Intuitive painting is a

direct way to connect with the well of spontaneous creativity just waiting to be released. Putting the brush full of luscious color to the paper taps into this deep source and you will be astounded what flows out!
Those that have never painted before are the most free in this process. Artists that would like to enliven their work will also greatly benefit from intuitive painting. Allow yourself to break free with a soul satisfying painting experience. Your facilitator is gentle, accepting, fun, passionate and experienced guide who creates the space for playful exploration.
This class is very different from traditional art classes in that there is no technique, comparison, right or wrong, and no emphasis on creating a product. Instead you will be given tools for moving through the inner critic that stops us in our tracks. That moves us past where we hold back, where we are in fear, and all that limits us resulting in a new freedom and confidence to create.

In the tradition of the many artists who have found inspiration in Santa Fe, I want to share my enthusiasm for this place with other artists. I find the colors and

textures of Santa Fe to be completely unique and wonderful. From the architecture to the gardens and all the cultures of art displayed, your eyes are saturated with ideas and feelings.
Santa Fe is not only an international art market, it is a place where “being” is an art form. Just walking around town and along the dirt paths is a transforming experience. Cradled by the vision of mountains, the crisp clean air, the stunning skies and sunsets, the wisps of pinion on the wind, music everywhere, amazing spices and foods, your senses are seduced in Santa Fe. With that entire new stimulus, it’s a blessing to have something to do with it!
In my five day workshop, we discuss and learn ways to communicate with color, use techniques in different mediums to create texture and depth and have time to paint!
and try new things. Each class is small; everyone is respected and receives ongoing private attention. We visit galleries, museums and discuss styles and uses of color and composition in order to encourage a unique style for each participant. We go as a group out to dinner, enjoy music events and enjoy the new friendships that have been formed through the shared passion of art. Working in my studio four blocks from the Plaza and a mile from Canyon road, students are part of the creative community that is continually creating and renewing the tapestry that is Santa Fe.

This is a DAY TRIP from Santa Fe
At the foot of Jicarita, the sacred mountain to the East for the Picuris Pueblo, lies the northern end of the "High Road" from Santa Fe to Taos. In Chamisal, one of the ancient Hispanic villages dating back to the original Spanish Land Grants, is DC Arts studio, owned by artist Donna Caulton. Donna's studio is an adobe outbuilding to her century old adobe home. You will have
(+) expand
the opportunity to tour her colorful and art-filled home as well as make some fresh new art using one of New Mexico's greatest gifts, that unfiltered high mountain sun.
In this workshop you will work with your own image, be it a photograph, drawing, or image painted directly onto a transparency. That image will be etched onto a metal plate, coated with a light-sensitive polymer. The process uses two completely non-toxic tools: exposure in the sun and development in water. In addition, this process will introduce you to some general printmaking skills. You will have use of the Thomas etching press, and have some unstructured time for working on additional prints.
Don't miss this opportunity to spend a day nestled in a high mountain valley of the famous Sangre de Christo mountain range. Donna's home is on land that was once the old plaza in Chamisal. Across the street is the tiny adobe church that appears on the New Mexico stamp, with a stained glass window that is the handiwork of a local artist. Also, within just a few miles are the Sugar Nymph's Bistro, a now famous cafe located in the old Penasco Theatre building, the
beautiful Picuris Pueblo with their buffalo herd, Santa Barbara wilderness with animals rarely seen such as big horn sheep, as well as the studios of many contemporary and traditional New Mexico artists.
Beginning this spring (2010) there will be two types of workshop offerings. An all day workshop is available to commuters. In addition, there will be extended workshops that include two nights’ lodging in Donna’s home, for people who wish to have a true New Mexico experience. The second day includes a visit to a cultural site, such as Native Pueblo dances or archeological sites. Dates are listed on the cultural tourism calendar, and much more detailed information is available on the blog: donnajcaulton.blogspot.com. If none of these choices fits your schedule, contact Donna to individualize your experience.

New Mexico Encaustic Workshops
Art is one of the cornerstones of Santa Fe Culture, both contemporary and historic. The ancient technique of wax encaustic has had a renaissance, and many of the new encaustic artists are here in Santa Fe. Ellen Koment was among the first to work in this medium in the Santa Fe area. Encaustic has roots 3000 years old, the earliest surviving pieces being the Fayum Paintings
(+) expand
done by the Romans in Ancient Egypt. Today this luminous medium, where pigmented beeswax is fused together with heat, has had a full scale revival, and these workshops in the artist’s Santa Fe studio will enable you to learn all of the traditional techniques, as well as contemporary variations, so that you can make your own encaustic paint, and fully express yourself with this beautiful material.
These are small groups, and the emphasis is always on helping the student to achieve their artistic aims. Wax can do terrific things and Ellen can show you how to push the material.
Come and capture what Santa Fe evokes in you.
Workshop Dates can be arranged for your group of three or more, and private half days can be arranged.
The instructor, Ellen Koment, has been teaching workshops for fifteen years. She is a graduate of Cooper Union Art School, with a Masters in Painting from UC Berkeley. She shows in Santa Fe at the Box Gallery, and is a member of the art faculty at Santa Fe Community College.

John Sherrill Houser, Painter/Sculptor
THE PULSE OF CLAY, Sculpture Workshop
Become one with Santa Fe's great artistic tradition and make clay come alive with internationally recognized sculptor/painter, John Sherrill Houser!
John received his early training from his father, Ivan Houser, who was Assistant Sculptor to Gutzon Borglum in the early years of carving Mt. Rushmore.
Completing his studies in Europe he lived and worked among various
(+) expand
cultures of the world including: American Gypsies, Roman faquiri (Italian street performers), Migrant workers, Gullah Blacks of South Carolina, Lacandon Indians of the Chiapan rain forest (Mexico), Seri Indians along the coastal desert of Sonora (Mexico) and the Puebloan peoples of New Mexico.
In 2009 John installed The Equestrian, a four story rearing horse with rider, recognized as the world's largest equine bronze. This monument is the second in a series of twelve for the XII Travelers Memorial of the Southwest, a sculpture walk (originated by John) for El Paso, Texas; commemorating 400 years of Southwest history from El Paso del Norte to Santa Fe. It was cast at Shidoni Foundry (Santa Fe) and a casting of the colossal head can be seen on Santa Fe's famous Canyon Road. John is now developing, with his son (sculptor Ethan Taliesin), the third XII Travelers monument, depicting Susan Shelby Magoffin of the Santa Fe/Chihuahua Trail.
Your PULSE OF CLAY session will begin in the artist's working studio with a 3-hour head modeling demonstration from life by the sculptor; followed by hands-on learning of modeling techniques, sculptural expression, structure, composition, and movement.
The workshop, designed for beginning/advanced students -- including art appreciators who wish to deepen their understanding and sensitivity -- will give you a reliable compass for continuing an independent and rewarding sculptural journey.
You will be provided with a modeling stand, armature, clay and a live model. You may purchase the clay and take your work home or arrange to have it cast in bronze. On Saturday you may wish to attend a public bronze pouring at nearby Shidoni Foundry.
Enjoy the comradeship of your fellow explorers, stimulating study, anecdotes of local Southwest history, a deicious graduation lunch...and a tangible record of your achievement-- not to mention the rich cultural diversity and multiple attractions of Santa Fe -- the most concentrated art capital in the world.
John Sherrill is now organizing special, ongoing Saturday morning classes (soon to be announced) that may be enjoyed by visitors with individual advance enrollment.
We hope you will join in sharing with us your passion, excitement, and input.

Santa Fe has long been a destination for Fiber Artists.

Or maybe it is the world famous restaurants with cuisines

too numerous to mention, the shops with an array of cloth, fiber, beads, jewelry, and folk art as well as the Native American and Spanish art and craft. We who live here know that this is just the surface of what Santa Fe is about.
I am offering two workshops in my studio built according to Vaastu principles.
The first workshop is called “Finding Order In Times of Chaos”. In it we will explore principles of Sacred Geometry using the square, the octagon, and the circle. Through primarily working with cloth, we will discover what it means to create order and harmony. This workshop is for anyone who can use a sewing machine or is willing to learn as well as for the already accomplished fiber artist wanting to try something new. Materials list will be provided upon registration.
The second workshop is called “Building a Vaastu House in the Twenty First Century.” By using principles of Sacred Geometry that are 10,000 years old and have been used all over the world, Builders throughout the ages have been able to create vibrant structures that resonate with the inhabitants and enhance their health and well being. You will get to experience first hand an actual building complex constructed in this way. This workshop is for anyone who loves sacred geometry and has wondered about how buildings can affect us both positively and negatively. It is also for anyone considering at some time building in the future, or for anyone who has been putting up structures for many years.
Workshops are ongoing, and will be either two days, three days, or five days. Please call to find out details. Special requests will be given high priority when possible. A catered lunch as well as chai and mexican hot chocolate can be included in the price of the workshop.

call "our heritage" seems more like our everyday life. This multi-faceted course brings to life an historical experience through exciting lectures, special tours of Santa Fe's artistic treasures, culinary demonstration and dining, Spanish vocabulary brush up and even the opportunity to create your own Spanish-influenced tinwork. The course concludes at the famous La Casa Sena restaurant, a mainstay of Santa Fe's culinary traditions.

Creative Tourism: A Global Conversation
This book tells how to provide unique creative experiences for travelers worldwide. But what is Creative Tourism, how is it different from other types of tourism, why is it needed, and how do you go about developing it? You'll find answers to these questions and more in this book which is based on and draws from the proceedings of the 2008 Santa Fe & UNESCO International
(+) expand
Conference on Creative Tourism. Held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, from September 28 to October 2, 2008, this first-of-a-kind conference brought together delegates from 16 countries around the world to engage in a global conversation about how best to leverage the tourism sector for community and economic development. In other words, how can tourism be best organized and practiced to enhance economic benefits to cities, provinces, and countries globally?
Conceived, in large part, through the efforts of members of UNESCO's Creative Cities Network, the conference upon which this book is based was designed to bridge theory and practice, as well as provide a forum for sharing ideas and best practices. Here you will find not only a collection of essays by some of the ''thought pioneers'' in the emerging and still evolving field of Creative Tourism, but also a wide array of resources, including many practical examples and illustrations of Creative Tourism in practice from around the world.
At a time when activities and initiatives aimed at promoting tourism in a competitive economy has become essential, the notion of Creative Tourism captured in this book offers a life line that cannot and should not be ignored. Indeed, Creative Tourism: A Global Conversation should be required reading for all tourism and community/economic/cultural development professionals, artists, elected and appointed public officials, and tourists who are seeking destinations that offer customized, creative, experiential, authentic, and meaningful experiences that are tied to the uniqueness and ''spirit'' of a place.
