Item: A day with John in his studio in Tsawwassen (10 minutes from the ferry terminal) to see how he develops and creates his masterpieces. If you wish we will pick you up from the Tsawwassen ferry terminal so you do not have to bring your car, take you to the studio where you will see a work in progress and also view a small gallery of his completed works. The studio where he paints holds a complete wall of marine books and is decorated with ship models and other marine items. We will serve you lunch and take you for a little tour around the neighbourhood before returning you to the ferry terminal. Priceless! Current bid: $0 Donated By John & Mary Horton |
