Back from San Miguel de Allende!

We recently returned from our 2016 Tesoro Del Corazón art retreat in gorgeous San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

We had 30 lovely ladies join us from all over the US, Canada and even one gal (Jo) from the UK!

Our group at Anado's mosaic house!

 This was our 5th year in San Miguel and we had well-known mosaic artist, Katherine England, join us as this year's guest artist.

(Katherine in the midst of her "lost phone saga"-which was amazingly recovered days later!)

The bed and breakfast where we stay is so charming with a lively history as a former bordello! Here is a photo during one of the classes.

 The only interruption in our workshop day was when a delicious lunch was served! Life is tough!

 

The theme for this year's project was, Casas del Corazon. Students each completed 4 house-shaped substrates using a variety of techniques. These inspiring "neighborhoods" of houses far exceeded our expectations and it was great to see all 120 houses together during our student showcase!!! 

 

One of the highlights of our trip to San Miguel is being there during Dia de los Muertos. The intermittent rain and electrical storm this year created a spooky, wonderful ambience for the night!

                         (We found out that Katherine was also a great make-up artist too!)

 It was another fabulous year in San Miguel made all the better by the incredible group of gals that joined us this year. THANK-YOU so much for putting your trust in us and for being a part of our growing San Miguel family!

 We just had a planning meeting yesterday for our 2017 retreat....we have our guest instructor selected and the project is in the works......stay tuned for more info!!!
