00501 Photography at Las Vegas and the Salman Raspberry Ranch
The photo opportunities in Las Vegas, New Mexico, are virtually endless! Its venerable history, both as a stop on the Santa Fe Trail and as a railroad boomtown, is the source of a wide variety of scenes that inspire photographic documentation and the interpretation. We’ll travel to Las Vegas, have lunch, begin our photographic excursion, check into the Plaza Hotel, and end the first day with dinner followed by a photography critique. The following day we’ll travel to Salman Rasberry Ranch, where spectacular gardens and the hsitoric San Rafael Mission Church await us. Along the way, we’ll stop at the Cleveland Roller Mill for their annual Millfest, where we’ll be able to see the mill in operation. Please join us in this very visual exploration of New Mexican history.

00567 Shidoni Foundry, Tesuque Glassworks
One of the top fine art foundries in the United States, located just a few miles north of Santa Fe, Shidoni Foundry’s galleries offer bronze sculptures and other art works, and a rare chance to find out what goes on behind the scenes when a bronze statue is created. Adjacent to the foundry you’ll find a bronze sculpture gallery where you can browse among sculptures in styles ranging from contemporary to traditional. Across the grounds, the Shidoni Arts Gallery features works in other media, such as glass and wood. The most spectacular sight here, though, is the outdoor sculpture gallery that’s situated between the two indoor ones. Here you’ll find a rotating display of large sculptures, notable for their sheer size and created in enough styles that just everyone will find something they like. (Shidoni pours 10,000 pounds of bronze per month.) We’ll visit Tesuque Glassworks next to Shidoni, where we’ll see Charlie Miner’s fabulous lost wax castings. Fee includes travel, a boxed lunch, travel and dessert after our tour at the beautiful Encantado Resort.
