Group get together at Sundance and the Hillam Cabin

One of the ski runs at Sundance

After the square dance on Saturday night Bernie, Yvonne, Michelle, Sarah, Clare, Rachel and Sue moved to a new home in the hills about 20 mins from Provo in the ski resort of Sundance. Our woodland home is the property of Mrs Hillam and her husband built the house himself over many years. It is a wonderful quirky home full of interesting objects and memories and feels very welcoming. It is a privilege to be invited to stay here and were are delighted to be together for this coming week as it helps us to keep in touch and help each other more.

A quote from Robert Redford about nature's relationship to creativity seems very appropriate to our own project.

Today, Sunday, the whole of our WMC group came up to spend the afternoon here to be together, share ideas and explore the mountains. There continues to be wild life all around us and we have an especially territorial Goss Hawk in the trees next to the house who likes to dive bomb passing walkers. It has already buzzed Sue and Clare today!

With Clare's birthday coming up soon we had another reason to celebrate being together, but its not all about fun. This is a nervous time or us all, we have our individual work to produce, a new environment to negotiate and settle into, and a public exhibition ahead of us. Having a chance to reflect on our experiences of the past week is really useful and sharing all those anxieties and helps to build our confidence in how to manage it.

Cutting the cake

We also had some Kickstarter business to discuss to keep on top of our rewards obligations and michelle gave us some new jobs to do and showed us some ideas for how we could design our poster reward.

Postcards that we have found in all the visitor centers over the last week 

Giant salt crystals from the Salt Lake almost 1 inch across!
We all cut our fingers collecting them too, they are very sharp.
