What is the thread that connects something from your inner world with something particular in the New Mexico landscape? At Mabel’s we are situated next to the Pueblo, the place of the red willows, with a view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, and the smell of desert sage in blue uninterrupted sky. This is food for your inscape. How do you find the continuity between something in your inner world, and something particular in the landscape? Unexpected connections dramatically open perspective and the muse arrives. We will explore these ideas through words and poetry, story and image, writing, drawing and painting.

I will introduce one of my alphabets, that is accessible to calligraphers and non-calligraphers. Having a secret writing system is one way to find words and images for your experience. We will make a book using ink, pencil and watercolor for word, image, color and texture.

Mabel Dodge Luhan House has had to raise their fees, and we have had to do so as well. We are committed to making this workshop accessible to people of all income levels, including younger students.
