We hope you will join us!
We begin our time together on May 12 and have full days planned for May 12, 13,
14, and 15. We have VIP tours of the Victoria & Albert Museum with curators, visits
to collector homes, a tour of the historic Goldsmiths Hall, special previews of
COLLECT, and private openings at numerous artists' studios. We will cap our visit
to London with dinner at Penland Trustee Sarah Elson and her husband Louis' home.
See the detailed itinerary at the end of this message.

15 double rooms at the Kensington Hilton Hotel and can accommodate up to 30 people
on our tour.

please discuss this with Susie Gross, see contact information below. Note the times
on our itinerary when you are on your own. Air transportation is on your own.
Your cost will vary depending on your housing arrangements. Each participant on
the tour will pay the fee that covers ground transportation for 4 days, 3 lunches,
one evening meal, gifts to our hosts, and Penland's planning time.
