Upcoming....

TAS goes on break tomorrow. Today, at a sweet, mid-19th century, one room schoolhouse up the street, we are having a formal lunch. Last year a number of students suggested some lessons in manners and such things. For the past couple of weeks, we have had a formal place-setting for 6 people set up in the foyer, and have been encouraging students to take lunches there. Today they will put the rubber to the road: dessert forks, champagne flutes, bread plates. Our venerable cooking and watercolor teacher, Buffy, is the force behind this event. Such a good idea.

In two weeks, our visiting musician Mr. Rawlings and I will be conducting a weeklong workshop in building, playing, and composing upon a simple dulcimer or monochord. The intent is to work out a version of the music and art program that we should have in place some time next year. Details will be posted over the next few days.

Also in the works is a version of the comtemplative education program we are developing. It may be a while yet, but stay tuned for details.
