This is definitely in the “buyer beware” category, and yet I’m intrigued with the thought of a writing retreat in Bulgaria. If you are too, and decide to investigate, do be careful…this is just an interesting but totally random piece of email that landed in my box. Not exactly a Nigerian prince, but one can’t be too careful:
My name is Silvia Haralambova. I am a Bulgarian contemporary artist in the field of fine and textile art, particularly in weaving. I live and work in the town Pazardzhik, Bulgaria.
Some of my pieces can be seen on my web page: http://sharalambova.googlepages.com/
Me and my husband have opened an Artist Retreat in the village Patalenitza in the Rhodopa Mountains, Bulgaria. We offer to textile artists, fine art artists, actors, writers, poets and translators from abroad the whole retreat – house for living, atelier and 650 sq. m. yard, where they can live and create in quiet countryside surroundings and find inspiration for their work.
The proximity to the village Vetrendol – well known for its interesting biological species – makes it is suitable for artists working in the field of bird art.
Here is the web site of our residency with more detailed information about the location, the conditions, the rates etc.: http://silviaretreat.googlepages.com/
