Award-winning teachers in poetry, fiction, and non-fiction will be your literary guides at Art Workshop International (www.artworkshopintl.com) in Assisi, Italy. Perhaps you want to explore art instead, from plein air painting to sacred shrines, art book construction, Italian trompe loeil, and development of a childrens book. Add art appreciation tours, an Italian immersion class, and a four-star hotel Umbrian chef teaching traditional dishes, and you have an idea of what Art Workshop International can offer you at a luxurious air-conditioned hotel in the heart of Assisi. For more than 25 years, New York artists Bea Kreloff and Edith Isaac-Rose have sponsored these intimate, relaxing, life-enhancing seminars with top creative talent for two weeks or more from July 26 to August 22. Art Workshop Internationals toll-free number is 1-866-341-2922.
