Art Workshop


What a wonderful weekend of making art and making friends! Ten of us gathered at Sandscrest Retreat Center to paint and make clay monoprints. Here you can see a wonderful class project that we made together to learn various clay printing techniques.

Colors, textures, and lots of inspiration from the autumn majesty surrounding us lead us to stretching our creative boundaries.



The view from the veranda was awe-some





We have dates for 2010, so plan to join us.

March 18-21 a long weekend for painting, printing, and recharging your spirit after a long winter.

June 13-19 a full week to go deeply into your creative spirit and take your art to a higher level.
