Countdown to Island Magic





One month until Island Magic is hosted here at Shawnigan Lake School! I can't believe my good fortune that this conference landed on my doorstep! I’m looking forward to a week of study with Denis Brown.

While I run with my dog on the fringes of the campus, I’ve never ventured onto the campus proper... but I did go in quietly this morning with my camera... I think all attendees will enjoy staying here. It feels like a bit of Britain in the middle of rural British Columbia! They’ve been getting ready for you - there’s new buildings going up, and I think they’re new dorms, so if you’re staying on-site, you might have some brand new residences to stay in. (Can anyone in Warmland confirm that?)

Looking forward to seeing you in British Columbia!

  4. Beth, topic of the week: "Developing expression in Calligraphy". Clearly, you've had Denis as a teacher as well...

    Sharon, see you soon!

    Alice! It is IKUKO.
    You know, I was quite lucky at the conference!
    My residence building was brand new and we had a shower room and washroom separately in our room.
    I heard other people had to share those things everyday!
    Lucky Luchy, eh.
