TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials from the South of France



"On our last night I was amazed to look around the studio/gallery at the walls full of art created, en plein air, by our group in six days. The journals kept by writers and painters alike were on display for all to look through. And that night, after a succulent French dinner on our patio, we writers shared poems. I think back with wonder at the amount of work our participants accomplished -- while always acting so relaxed, so outgoing and warmhearted, that one would have thought we did nothing but loll around and drink vin rose all week. -- I would happily return to Auvillar as instructor or fellow."

"I am having a delightful AND productive time here. My work is
surprising me in all kinds of wonderful ways."

 

"The week was so much more than I had expected, on so many levels. I can't remember a time when I've left a group activity and really wanted to stay in touch with the people with whom I shared the experience."
"(I)..wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it, and how splendid I found the atmosphere of Auvillar and the Moulin and residence. I did a lot of new writing but have not finished any of the work produced there. I found the small intimate group very conducive."
