Retreat to The Willows, a beautiful Victorian home with architecture that echoes the rich tradition and elegance of the 1800s. York Beach is just a short stroll to breathtaking views of the sand, surf, and rocks. A modern updated kitchen awaits the cooks.  There is a spacious dining room and gracious living room with comfortable seating for all participants to relax, socialize and make new friends.

Join Mary Laury, watercolor instructor, and Chris Toy, cooking instructor, for four days of indulging in your choice of Watercolor Painting or International Cooking in an idyllic setting. 

Watercolor Painting is an exciting medium; it flows and moves and does beautiful things. If you have never painted in watercolors, we will start at the beginning. If you have painted before, you will pick up some new tips and tricks as well. We all learn together!

Your cooking instructor, Chris Toy is the author of 6 popular cookbooks, a private chef, and has taught Asian fusion cooking for several Maine community education programs. Cooking students will learn how to  prepare a variety of recipes from Asia, Europe, and the Americas incorporating traditional and local ingredients. Each meal will actively engage cooks with the tools, techniques, and stories behind the  dishes being created.

All meals are included in the workshop fee as well as specially planned optional evening activities  designed to extend your learning from the day’s workshops.

$495 includes workshops and meals
