Ball, located on High Street. The accommodations include a nicely
appointed room with daily full-English breakfast. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br />

ancient churches, thatched-roofs cottages, historical buildings, local
pubs, prehistoric trails and so much more.</span><br />

I'd like to keep the number of students attending to around 10 with a minimum
of four. The workshop will cost $700 for the week. You can find further details

history. Legend says that Merlin is buried there and that the town is named
after him. In the 1067, William the Conqueror took control of Marlborough
and built a castle, claimed the nearby Savernake Forest as royal hunting grounds
and established a mint. </span></div>

the river Kennet with swans, ducks and two walking bridges. We will spend a lot

Lining the streets of Marlborough are the most delightful shops ever. My
favorite of course is the White Horse Bookshop that houses an art shop
upstairs. This is where my return to fine arts all began with the purchase of a
small book on drawing.<br />

less crowded). Their monument has three stone circles around the village of
Avebury and contains the largest stone circle in Europe. A wonderful site to
sketch.</span></div>

dates back to prehistoric and Roman times and has an Anglican church, Holy
Cross that was built in the 13th century. Imagine, that was the time of Chaucer
and another road trip (Canterbury Tales)! No matter where you look, you'll find
something to sketch and/or photograph and you'll have an entire week to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It's somewhat
difficult to estimate the exact costs for this type of trip especially when
considering exchange rates. My best advice is to talk with Karen Cornell
at AAA Travel (503-973-6562<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">)</span> or
your own travel agent. But for now, here are the estimated costs as of today,
November 10, 2016 (from Portland, Ore.):<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It was a wonderful
trip to sketch in England with a terrific teacher. We loved Bath and so many
other places. The other thing, we loved the hiking [on their own time]…
to enjoy the country along with the cows, sheep and small streams. Small
tea and coffee houses and yes the great biscuits(scones with jam).</span></i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Darlene L</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

in England with Jill is instructive, informative and a lot of fun.
Her choices of sketching subjects and destinations are unique and
well-researched: Quaint villages, pubs, thatched houses, old churches and
heritage sites. The local people were very friendly and incredibly helpful. I
had a great time and can hardly wait to do it again</span></i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">. Darlene V.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
