Rowan Residential Workshop
ROWAN RESIDENTIAL WORKSHOP IN FRANCE with Debbie Abrahams and Jane Crowfoot - 'Shades of Autumn' at Château de St. Julien l’Ars, 14th - 21st October 2008.
Join us for our fourth residential knitting workshop in France at this beautiful Château in the centre of the Poitou region, easily accessible by air, train or car. Château de St. Julien l’Ars is situated just east of Poitiers on the outskirts of the sleepy village of St Julien l’Ars. The village is just a few minutes walk away and has a boulangerie, grocery store, bar tabac and café. The beautiful château is owned by American Architect Nash Gubelman and his artist wife Linda Softing, their passion for the château and any artistic pursuit makes it the ideal venue for workshops.

The peace and serenity of the château can be felt the moment you pass through the large gates, beneath the 100 ft. Gothic spire of the village church and into the castle courtyard. The 56 acre grounds feature walking trails and private corners to sit and relax with your knitting or a book.
The total cost of the holiday is £575 per person for a shared room and £650 per person for a single room, this includes all workshop fees, accommodation, all meals and drinks on site, use of the bicycles, excursions, transfers between the Chateau and Poitiers airport or station and 10% discount on any purchases made with Kangaroo during the week.
What is not included: Travel to Poitiers from your home, entrance fees to places of interest and the restaurant meal on the evening excursion.
The workshops will be run by Debbie Abrahams and Jane Crowfoot and cover various aspects of knitting and design (see the programme below for further details). They are wonderful tutors and their enthusiasm for knitting is inspirational.
