Students will work on collaborative projects that will be on temporary exhibition in the park. Close contact with working artists and art students in these two countries as well as a visit to the National Art Academy in Tallinn Estonia will provide a wide range of exposure to contemporary issues in visual art in Europe. Visits to major art museums, cultural sites will be arranged in each country. For those students who choose to extend their stay in Europe, Helsinki is the ideal city from which to visit St. Petersburg Russia and the Hermitage Museums and other world-class collections and historic sites

Hello Everyone,
I am posting this from Wales where I have gone to cast another Lodestone at the West Wales School of the Arts. Andy Griffiths has been a fabulous host and has made it so easy to get the proper stone and make the mold. The project is going along very smoothly and quickly. Stuart is off to Russia with a group of students, Ken has taken his lot to Tallinn and a few have had to return to the States to teach or are continuing their travel to other places. I posted images from the opening of the Pedvale Exhibition which Laura e-mailed to me here in Wales. We had good weather for the opening although it looked like rain any minute right through the day and evening. The next day was cold and overcast so it was OK for travel. I flew to london and took trains to Kidwelly where I was met by Andy. I am staying with Andy and look out of the back window of his place at Kidwelly Castle. The castle is a remarkably well preserved 12th cent. bastion where the International Iron Conference will stage the selected exhibition. I will try to get an image on the blog later.
Carl
