Haystack Bound

 Tomorrow we leave for Haystack Mountain School of Art in Deer Isle, Maine.  It is a Massachusetts College of Art Alumni (and friends) retreat and I will be teaching cyanotype and monoprinting workshops.  It is my 5th year attending.  I love it there.

Haystack is a very special place.  It sits amid trees and rocks right on the ocean.  The architecture won many awards as it uses the landscape as a integral part of the design.  The studios and cabins radiate off a central staircase.  The photo on the left is the staircase looking up toward the dining hall and central meeting place.  Below is the view to the sea from the same point on the stairs.  So called "Faculty Row" is very close to the shore.  Good views on the one hand, but many stairs to climb on the other.  It is probably a good thing since the food is so good--a few stairs may help keep extra pounds from accumulating...
