This five-day workshop will offer locations and subject matter such as:

• Scenic Seal Cove, with its collection of historic wharf buildings
• the rugged cliffs of Southern Head
• Swallowtail Light, which has guided mariners for many years
• the wharfs and lobster boats of Ingalls Head
• the salt marshes and dunes of Castaglia Marsh
• the working herring weirs of North Head
• and much, much more!

The group had a great time last September at this workshop with excellent weather. This year, the workhop is in June, which is off-season. The island will be quiet, but most of the shops and restaurants will have just opened, so there will be plenty to do!

Michael has arranged for "first-come, first-served" lodging at Fishermen's Haven Cottages at Ingalls Head. Centrally located on the eastern side of Grand Manan, Ingalls Head allows easy access to all our locations. Special pricing will be offered to students at CA $85 for two. PLUS, YOU WILL GET FREE LOBSTERS, courtesy of Mark Green, the fisherman who owns the cottages. (You will need to let the host know that you are participating in the Michael Chesley Johnson Workshop.) Call 1-506-662-8919 or e-mail ashleyfh@nb.aibn.com. Other lodging is also nearby.

**Workshop will meet 9 AM the first day at Fishermen's Haven Cottages**

As with his Campobello Island workshops, the Grand Manan Island workshop will consist of five half-days. Paint half the day and then take the rest of the day to explore or paint the island on your own! All levels of student are welcome, in either pastel or oil. Cost of the workshop is $250. A deposit of $100 is required to reserve your spot. Contact Michael to reserve. There is NO minimum number of students -- this workshop will happen!
