                    _Dear Friends,

                    Inspiration and creativity flourish on the beautiful 10-acre campus of Florence Thomas Art School, located along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Glendale Springs, North Carolina,  and just minutes from the New River. Here, visitors can attend half-day to five-day workshops in the fine arts, master crafts, and heritage crafts led by regional and national artisans. Affordable on-site lodging, nearby area attractions and cultural events make this the perfect vacation for individuals as well as families.

                    One student recently commented: " The setting of the school and the little touches by the staff create an atmosphere where creativity can really blossom." Another agreed, adding, " I feel refreshed, relaxed and blessed for having the opportunity to be here."

                    There is something for everyone at all artistic levels. Workshops in painting to weaving are hosted from May to October and include special programming such as Fiber Arts Heritage Craft Week and an Intergenerational Workshop in July. 

                    Please let me know how I can help you rediscover your creative side here at Florence.

                    Sincerely,

                    Meghan B Minton

                    Executive Director
