Heaven on earth. Five stars doesn’t come near the amount of love I have for this place and the people who run it.
It smells like Christmas because of the spruces, and this is so fitting because it feels like Christmas. Only better, because it’s summer and there is an ocean and crushed shell beaches and studios jam packed with supplies and amazing, home cooked, kick ass food for eaters of all types, and so many creative, funny, encouraging artists and craftspeople that you will never want to leave.
The fearless leader, Stuart, is just about the nicest guy you’ll ever meet. A wonderful and quirky sense of humor and a damn good poet, to boot. Candy is helpful, kind and efficient. And all the staff are hard working and friendly.
I haven’t felt so well tended to, creatively inspired and completely at ease since I was a little ‘un.
Forget Disney world. This is where dreams come true.

10 STARS!
2 weeks of pure perfection.
Emotional bliss and belly bliss.
Campus vibe –Swiss Family Robinson as if living in a tree house. You could potentially not touch ground for 14 days.
Seductive views of the ocean and tranquil sounds of the surf.
Drunken Hammer-​nail tree stump game you have to see to believe.
Charming and quaint Stonington you’ll never want to leave.
Pavlov’s breakfast, lunch and dinner bell you’ll never forget.
80 incredibly talented, humble, endearing, helpful, curious, driven, and talented (again) student artists «under one roof».
7 incredibly talented, humble, endearing, helpful, curious, driven, and talented (again) instructors «under one roof.»
I’ve never seen that many books and resources at my disposal about clay under one roof (without quotes this time) in my life.
24hr access to cake, cookies, fruit, coffee, & tea for those late night cravings.
24hr access to every studio for those late night bursts of inspiration.
I can go on and on and on…
What can i say??? It was awful. Don’t go! ;)
