I'm Deb Haugen an artist, and a travel escort for Craftours! I just wanted to share this unbelievable trip that I will be escorting in 2020. I'll also be teaching a beginning "Urban Sketch" class, along the way. It's a great chance to talk about materials, get a one on one in a small class environment while sipping tea, and learn a new art/craft to enhance your creativity. Come and experience the beauty and magic of Japan....we'll have a blast! You may know Jim West, and Craftours through his wonderful TV show called Destination Craft. When you call to reserve, please request Deb Haugen.....http://www.craftours.com/trips/?page=japan_exploring_0120
