Breakfast is served Monday through Saturday at both hotels and is included in the hotel cost. Days Inn and St. George Hotel serve a "continental breakfasts," so those staying there are welcome to join those staying at the Volcano Union Inn for a cooked breakfast ($10 per day and only if we have students booked at the Volcano Union Inn - be flexible). For 5-day classes, we serve lunches here at the studio and the price is included in the class cost. They tend to be home-cooked, deli and/or buffet style so that students can pick and choose foods that fit their diets. We try to accommodate everyone (within reason - you're on your own for tofu - blech). One to four-day classes are Bring Your Own Lunch. If you're traveling, we can work out a lunch deal. Just ask! We will supply water, juice and other non-alcoholic drinks during class hours. Wine, beer and other beverages are available at or near the hotels most evenings. Since this is a small town, not everything is open every night. Be flexible. It is essential that you discuss with us in advance any special food needs or requests. Plans are made in advance and can't always be easily changed at the last minute. Help us to make you happy! Dinners are not included in the package, but besides the Volcano Union Inn and the St. George, there are other restaurants only 8 to 15 miles away in Sutter Creek, Pine Grove and Jackson. |

Be sure to read
all the small print, where we are, cancellation policy, etc.
Classes are first come, first served and tend to fill early. Until we talk and your deposit is paid your seat is not reserved.
Classes are very small (7 student maximum for 5-day classes and 10 students for 1- and 2-day classes, semi-private classes tend to be one-on-one).
Please, do not sign up unless you are very serious. With so few students in a class I cannot be generous about cancellations. The cancellation policy is here.
We supply everything, though there may be some optional items you want to bring along. If you have specific items (like photos or personal embellishments) you'd like to use in a project, bring them and we'll see if we can incorporate them, otherwise, rely on me for all supplies and embellishments.
The classes are designed to be taken once or to be taken repeatedly. Students work with Christine to plan projects that will advance their current skills. Beginner to intermediate artists will be comfortable yet challenged in most classes. The classes complement each other nicely, moving gracefully between mixed-media and altered art, jewelry, bookbinding, paper marbling and much more. One of the benefits of the classes is learning from what other students are working on. As students work on individually designed projects, there is always cross-pollination. And working in a room full of handmade art is inspiring!
