There are still spaces in both workshops.
Our emphasis will be on learning, creating, comraderie, convenience, and affordability. Both workshops will include a wealth of classroom time, and field trips to local sources of inspiration - to take photographs and gather content for our classroom activities.
Two workshops will be offered in 2007:
The Art of the Art Journal
They are scheduled on adjacent weekends so that students could stay for both if desired and spend the four days between enjoying the artist’s paradise that is Santa Fe. The tandem workshops will be offered in September.
Class size will vary from 5 to 20. Remember that in smaller Groups, YOU get more attention.
Our classroom will be available 24 hours/day in case you want to work after hours on your projects, or gather for some creative chit-chat with friends.
September is balmy and beautiful. The crowds are gone, but not the charm. Lots of events still going on for visitors if you are staying over.
The Art of the Art Journal: September 13-16 (arrival Thursday, September 13)
Handmade Books for Artists: September 20-23/24 (arrival Thursday, September 20. Monday Optional)
The workshop fee is $325 for three full days of instruction and field trips. Any admission fees on field trips are included. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required with your registration. The remainder of the fee must be paid in full 30 days ahead of the Workshop, and an email reminder will be sent. If you are registering after this 30 day period is past, please pay your entire fee in the Shopping Cart.

Hotel Venue
I had originally set up this schedule with the Sleep Inn here in Santa Fe because of convenient location and parking, reasonable room rates, a great classroom, and free continental breakfast. When I called to confirm before posting to the website, I found that the manager I had dealt with no longer worked there, and it was no longer a Sleep Inn! (You can’t imagine what retreat coordinators go through dealing with hotels!)
The good news is that the rates are still reasonable, the classroom is still great, and some wonderful amenities have been added. A full, hot breakfast, and a Manager's reception in the afternoon have been added which are complimentary for guests. Our classroom will now have doors that open onto the pool area, so we can take breaks outside. All rooms are being upgraded with flat screen TVs, new beds, marble tile, etc. (the building is only a couple of years old to begin with!)
Rates for June and September will be $99/night (plus tax), single OR double. September is considered high season here in Santa Fe and this a very reasonable rate for in-season.
Bring a friend and share a room, and this becomes really affordable - even at the height of the tourist season.

Tell them you are with the Cre8it Art Retreats to get our special rate.
Our retreats should be logged in their computer by December 9, 2006.
Directions are very simple - just take the Santa Fe exit for Cerrillos Road:
Air travelers must fly into Albuquerque International Airport.
Shuttle service and rental cars are available from many companies located near Baggage Claim.
Dress in layers during all seasons. Even summer evenings can be cool enough for a light jacket.
We are at an elevation of 7000 feet in the Southern Rockies. Our climate is moderate - no extreme heat in Summer or extreme cold in Winter.
Santa Fe is the #2 favorite destination for travelers worldwide - especially artists. Once you are here, try to give yourself a little non-workshop time for exploring Santa Fe if possible. It’s a hard place to leave. Your special room rate will be honored for the entirety of your stay.
