On the Journal/Sketchbook class at Shake Rag Alley

So here we are in bright and sunny Mineral Point, Wisconsin, for the three-day Journal and Sketchbook class at the Shake Rag Alley Arts Center. We're staying at the house of one of the board members, who live near the high street in this Cornish-style town:

The classes are being held in an old wooden cottage in Shake Rag Alley, which as I've said in previous posts is a little valley in the side of a hill which is lined with log cabins built by pioneers and emigrant Cornish miners:

The weather has been kind to us, and we've been able to send the class attendees outside for drawing activities:

It's a lively class of willing people, and even in these few days we can see the progress in their writing brought about by the different writing and sketching activities.
