New Braunfels is a city near San Antonio, Texas. It's known for the Comal and Guadalupe rivers, which wind past leafy parks like Landa and Cypress Bend. Original 1800s German buildings like Gruene Hall are preserved in the Gruene Historic District. To the west, walkways snake through underground limestone caves at Natural Bridge Caverns.
The workshop will take place in the New Braunfels Art League
