fieldwork: proposed schedule

October 15 - 21, 2023

The outline below should be considered a general overview and may be subject to change due to weather, shared consensus, and other considerations.

Sunday, October 15 — Arrivals and settling in
I’ll arrange to pick you up at the Rockland/Owls Head airport (for those of you arriving by Cape Air from Boston) or the Concord Coach Bus Station (arriving from Portland or Bangor). We’ll settle into our rooms and enjoy an optional leisurely walk along the cove or to the Breakwater and Lighthouse. You can also choose to unwind in an Adirondack chair by the cove or on the upper deck, weather permitting. Today is an opportunity to shake off travel fatigue and breathe. We’ll enjoy a shared dinner at home, with an overview of the week ahead.

Monday, Day 2 — Camden Walkabout
We will enjoy a continental breakfast at home, then an optional late morning drive (8 miles) to Camden. We can plan to stay for a few hours to window shop, pop into the art store or yarn shop, peruse the local galleries, or watch the sailboats in the harbor. If our timing works out, we’ll stop at Graffam’s on the way home for a lobster roll. By early afternoon we will return home for self-directed studio time, or a siesta. Dinner at home.

Tuesday, Day 3 — Full Studio Day
Breakfast at home, then independent time for creative practice, a walk, foraging. Lunch and dinner at home.

Wednesday, Day 4 — Full Studio Day
Breakfast at home, then independent time for creative practice, a walk, foraging. Lunch and dinner at home.

Thursday, Day 5 — Rockland Walkabout
Breakfast at home, then an optional late morning drive to Rockland (about 3 miles). We’ll stay for a few hours to visit The Farnsworth Museum, CMCA, and the local Main Street. We can walk over to the Farmer’s Market (the market runs through end of October, unless seasonal traffic has slowed and the area begins closing up early) and enjoy lunch at the market or a local restaurant. By early afternoon we will return home for self-directed studio time or a siesta. Dinner at home.

Friday, Day 6 — Full Studio Day
Breakfast at home, then independent time for creative practice, a walk, foraging. Lunch at home. Group dinner out at an agreed upon location, possibly Long Grain (a favorite of mine!)

Saturday, Day 7 — Last Day
Breakfast at home, then independent time until we’re ready for airport transfers and flights home.
