other local weathervane artists can be arranged. Traveling expenses would be shared.
ACCOMMODATIONS
We are 40-50 minutes from T.F. Green Airport, Providence, R.I.
-
We encourage students to rent cars or to drive
so that you have transportation in the evenings to visit and enjoy Bristol and the
grandeur of Newport, which is only a short distance away.
-
You must make your own arrangements
for room, meals, and transportation.
-
If you are staying in town and need
a ride to and from the studio, something can probably be
arranged.
