Could anyone offer names, e-mail addresses or phone numbers and/or recommendations of schools/studios/ateliers who will be offering several-days and/or week long sessions in charcoal drawing, this summer? I am looking states-side and London and Italy. I can't imagine a better place to begin my search than here on this forum. I am already in contact with Mims Studio, Angel Studio, the Florence Academy and the London Atelier of Representational Art.

I have a great opportunity to travel to London for a few days and then on to Italy for ten days this June. However, as my "vacation" is limited and because I am concentrating on spending time and money on portrait classes and workshops, I am trying to determine if I could combine a thrilling trip to see some of the world's greatest art and some much needed studio instruction. I have to decide if my time and money would be better spent, at this point of my development, at a stateside (or Canadian) school/studio.

Thank you, thank you, in advance.
