Do you love connecting with other artists and creatives? Looking to give yourself the gift of time, inspiration, and playful exploration? Join us for a full-day retreat designed to refresh your creative spirit and build connections with a lively group of makers.

From sketchbook creation to mixed-media exploration, this one-day experience blends relaxation, experimentation, and meaningful conversation. We’ll spend the morning exploring materials and making sketchbooks, take a midday break for lunch together at a local restaurant (a perfect excuse to step back from our works-in-progress), and return to the studio to develop a small series of artworks in the afternoon.

Schedule
9:30am–12pm — Introductions, material exploration, and handmade sketchbook activity
12–1pm — Lunch at a local restaurant near the art center
1–4pm — Create a series of artworks using a variety of materials and discuss the final selection process

Take a day to reconnect—with your creativity, your community, and yourself.

Class size 6-12 participants. Tuition $150; all materials provided
