Join Diane Ericson and Karin Graves, for dynamic week of inspiration, lectures and one-on-one instruction in our adobe conference center studio. Deepen your design experience, and focus on aspects of your work in new ways. We'll be on 'Taos time' as they say, with plenty of opportunity to explore your ideas, and work in small, informal groups in our adobe studio and afternoons sitting with handwork in the stone courtyards.

"Returning to New Mexico always inspires new work and vision influenced by its breath-taking landscapes. Karin and I will be exploring and sharing our work printing and brushwork on textiles. Held by thread, the world calls us to collaborate and celebrate new relationships in community and the materials we are drawn to....join us to grow your work and bring in the new. I'll be working in fabric, adding surface design and stitching to my making in our Taos Studio. Color, form and story find their way into my imagery and textile work and garments. There in Taos, where the high desert air and views are a reminder to breath, join us and settle in to celebrate MAKING and the magic that takes form in the studio there".
