I really enjoyed tutoring the last workshop and have never encountered such a dedicated,hard working group. It must have been the mountain air but we were making art 10 hours a day . Having taken time out of our busy lives and being in the wonderful, upgraded Unwin Hut meant we could totally focus on art making and it was great having the lovely evening meals which catered for meat eaters, vegetarians and the gluten intolerant.
