There are 53 days til Christmas and 56 til my Birthday kids.
I talked to a lovely lady today who really wants to do an Albany Summer School course. It would be her first time. We talked about the cost, what was in the course requirements and the extra paid to the tutor for the bits they’d supply.
The committee cost out the courses to cover all the expenses of hiring the school, tutors, insurance, advertising …. you get the idea. We always hope we don’t run at a loss; to have enough in the bank to cover us until the next years bookings start the process all over again. It been that way for 67 years.
We ended our chat with me sharing how we suggest people often ask their loved ones to give them money as gifts to help them get to summer school. Hence the first line 😉

Spend five creative days learning watercolour with artist Rhonda Hickey. The course begins with essential skills—brush handling, colour work, and layering—followed by a small introductory painting.
In this one-day, introductory workshop, Helen Coleman will guide you through the process of extracting colours from locally sourced, sustainably harvested plant materials, to create your own natural, botanical inks.
