Robinson Place Workshops 60 Robinson Point Road, Naramata Home (250) 496-4265 Cell (250) 488-4999 Email: info@robinsonplace.ca www.robinsonplace.ca Arlene Gawne www.discoverwildhorses.comThis first workshop was developed to help save the wild horses and burros of the Las Vegas area. By benefiting the local economy and drawing visitors to the area, the wild horses and burros become a valuable living resource for both international visitors and locals alike.
Kindrie will lead you through the En Plein Air painting process, with step-by-step demonstrations, focusing on landscape painting and helping you edit to get the moving subjects of horses into your paintings.
This is a rare opportunity to paint in the beautiful spring desert, closely surrounded by wild horses, their foals and burros at three locations. On each of the 2 plein air painting days, shuttles will take you from the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vagas to the painting sites. Catered lunches are included and a chance, if you choose, to exhibit in a Las Vegas gallery for the First Friday Artwalk at the end of the week. Critiques and access to Kindrie and her expertise for the week will create a fulfilling and immersive artistic learning experience for both artists and photographers.
This workshop is limited to 10 participants for reasons of the permits required to take people into that area with the horses.
Workshop Only: $450.00 plus tax
Includes: All instructional workshop hours, Tues/Wed/Thurs. lunch and beverage (Tues/Wed only), shuttle service to the three locations with permit access and the gallery showing and reception.

“Tromp as writ”, “Overshot”, “Throw the shuttle” “Tabby”, “Pickup” — these unusual expressions are just a few phrases to be heard in the Desert Sage Spinners and Weavers Guild. Weaving is an age-old art of forming lengths of yarn into cloth. In early human society, weaving satisfied the need for clothing and shelter. Garments and dwellings were constructed from woven animal hair or plant materials. Today, the possibilities are endless with an array of threads, yarns, fabrics, dyes, animal hair, plants, and synthetics – and centuries of creative techniques to draw from.
