If you ever think you might be interested in the Applied Arts Program, I highly recommend it! A new cohort starts every two years and they take up to 20 students each cohort.
Zac and I got to stay in a room in Orchard House, which is on the campus of Sunbridge Institute, and it was beautiful! The Fiber Craft Studio is located downstairs in that building. Green Meadow Waldorf School is on an adjoining campus. Zac and I are reading the Thornton Burgess books at bedime now and he's convinced that that is the Green Meadow where those stories take place. We even found the Lone Little Path and the Laughing Brook!
Now, to find the Smiling Pool where Jerry Muskrat and Little Joe Otter play and Grandfather Frog goes chug-a-rum...
the Fiber Craft Studio is gorgeous

it is so pretty here

I love the felted pieces under the vases
Judit Gilbert's amazing Jack and the Beanstalk
she did a wool picture background first
then needle felted it for firmness and detail
then wet felted the vines, leaves, flowers and beans
and then made Jack with an armature
I love his sweet face!

to our private little spot for snack

as Nicole would say,
"I can't stand the cuteness!!!!"
