Year of the Spark continues in Oaxaca with Carla Sonheim and Lynn Whipple
This trip is full.Carla Sonheim and Lynn Whipple are thoroughly enjoying themselves this year in the Year of the Spark, a year-long online course. Their purpose was to infuse MORE of it into their participant's lives….more art, more creativity, more time, more inspiration, more motivation, and more FUN!
Can I tell you how excited I am that they are going to continue the Year of the Spark in Oaxaca for a week long workshop February 28-March 6? I am freaking jumping up and down, people.
I met Carla shortly after she moved to Seattle and she was my very first local art instructor. How lucky was I that I came across this special soul and then she teamed up with some remarkable teachers in her online network, including one of my all time favorite mixed media artists, Lynn Whipple. So, here they are and we are going to Oaxaca together for a lot of fun, good eating, and lots of laughter.
Carla wrote some fun facts about Lynn on her website. Pretty heady facts!

- Paint a Mexican Muse to music with Lynn

The motto of Las Bugambilias is that "we do not receive hosts, we receive friends." Emilia and her family and their staff truly do make you feel as though their home is yours.
