October in Perissa is always a little bit bittersweet. The season is ending for another summer. One by one the restaurants, shops, and bars shutter their doors for the winter, and fewer and fewer people tour the island or play in the Aegean waters. With the closure, however, comes a relaxing, like a too tight ponytail that has finally been let down. Workers, many of whom have not had a day off since April or May, are finally free to sleep in, stay up late, and enjoy the island on their own terms. Business owners can finally let go of the stress they've been shouldering for months. Even the beach seems glad to have more exposure, and fewer sun beds.
Of course, with the winding down, comes a looking forward. Winter plans are made, friends are bid adieu, and if you've had a good sumnmer, there's money to be spent. This year everyone has been blessed with the most incredible fall weather too. Here we are, in late October, and it could be mid September with how warm both days and nights have been.
I'm looking forward to heading back to Canada to see friends and family, and one of those friends has a new venture! I'd like to announce a new venue in my hometown of Edmonton, where I will be teaching mosaic workshops when I'm in town.
The venue, Kemporium Art Space, is run by an avid mosaic artist and fine crafter, and hosts a variety of workshops. She's currently working on getting a mailing list up and running, and I'm sure she'd be thrilled if you wanted to join the list to stay abreast of mosaic and other art happenings in Edmonton.
