Destination: Cadwell Family Farm, Pittsford, Vermont
A Workshop & Residency for Educators Exploring Creativity, Making, and Research
July 16-18, 2020
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: APRIL 1, 2020
This blog post is an announcement. Cadwell Collaborative is thrilled to offer a Workshop and Residency this summer in collaboration with our dear friends and colleagues, Chuck Schwall and Michael Holohan with whom we worked for many successful years in St. Louis at The St. Michael School and as members of the St. Louis Reggio Collaborative. We have cooked up a three day experience for educators that will be joyful and brimming with creativity and inspiration. We can’t wait. We hope that you will join us.
By the way, the location of this workshop and residency is on a gorgeous piece of land in Vermont, on the farm where Ashley grew up with his five brothers. The handsome, timber framed barn includes spacious meeting areas and places to share meals overlooking fields and the Green Mountains. The farm includes playing fields, bird habitats, and a hiking trail linked to the village’s 20 mile network. You will find nearby backroad biking, quarry swimming, river canoeing, as well as farmers markets, micro breweries, and restaurants.
Today, we sent out an announcement via our newsletter that reached some of you, however not all of you, so we are sending it out here also. All the information follows. Please let us know if you are interested. We would love to have you! To register, click here.
Join us at the Cadwell Family Farm where we will all become ever more playful and serious makers, creators, and researchers. Come to find community, learn new skills, be inspired, set new intentions, and return home energized and restored.
We will weave together three days of learning through presentations, experiences in the field, materials workshops, sharing and dialogue, delicious community meals, play, and laughter. You will leave with a bound journal, hand made by you, composed of your creative thinking, work in a variety of materials, and your personal reflections.
You will return home ready to teach and learn alongside your students and colleagues with renewed excitement, energy, and vision.
Facilitators: Louise and Ashley of Cadwell Collaborative, and Charles Schwall and Michael Holohan, studio teachers and pedagogical leaders at The St. Michael School in St. Louis, MO. This team of four has worked together since the mid 90’s.
“Thank you for hosting such high quality professional development. It was like a vitamin shot for me personally and professionally. When I reflect on gratitude-I am so grateful for your commitment to educators.”
