We have just returned from the Netherlands and Copenhagen where we relaxed, biked, saw some sights and visited family working in Europe.<\/p>\n

It was a fun with the focus on family and fun.<\/p>\n

Trip highlights?<\/em>
\n\u2022 Family<\/strong> – It was good to remove most (there were a few deliverables) of the pressures of work to play and enjoy family all the time.
\n\u2022 Bikes<\/strong> – I love bikes and all about them. And while I knew both countries were bike oriented, the bikes<\/a> and bike culture<\/a> were a high point of my trip. Everything revolves around bikes – city planning, transit, etc.
\n\u2022 Windmills<\/strong> – Not just the pretty postcard windmills (of which we had a tour – loved it!) but everywhere we went we saw power-generating, efficient, clean windmills.
\n\u2022 Tastes of Europe<\/strong> – Cheese<\/a>, craft beer<\/a>, chocolate<\/a>\u2026 We sampled and smiled.
\n\u2022 Photography, lack of<\/strong> – I brought an iPhone and a ‘half-framer’ Ricoh film camera (which, erm, we left in Montreal airport, in case anyone finds it\u2026) I took a few photos mostly of family giggling and enjoying themselves! It was time to recharge.<\/p>\n

I am officially back at work Wednesday and will take a few days to be running at normal speed.<\/p>\n

What’s coming up?
\n<\/em>\u2022 Workshops<\/strong><\/a> – In the next couple of weeks we offer the classic Creative Fundamentals<\/a> and introduced the more challenging Fundamentals II<\/a>.
\n\u2022 Acrylic Painting Presentation<\/strong><\/a> (this Wednesday!)
\n\u2022 we’ll be announcing new arts based workshops<\/strong> later this week featuring Claudia Salguero<\/a>.
\n\u2022 Producing work for two ongoing collections – Sunstreaks and Watershed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
