For Seasoned Artists
Two Life-Changing Yearlong Workshops
June 7–12, 2026 • Nov 5–8, 2026 • May 6–9, 2027
Steven Hill’s Journey Workshop (Ceramics)
This is more than a pottery class—it’s a personal deep dive into your unique relationship with clay. Through critiques, group discussions, and hands-on exploration, you’ll gain clarity, focus, and a renewed sense of purpose in your studio practice.
Helen Klebesadel’s Finding Your Artist Voice (Watercolor/Mixed Media)
No drawing skills required—just an open heart. This mixed media retreat helps you tap into life experiences and personal symbolism to uncover your creative truth. Collage, paint, stitch, glue—whatever gets your message across.
💡 Both workshops include three sessions over the course of a year, small-group connection, personalized feedback, and a culminating gallery show.
🔗 Spots are limited—don’t miss your chance to join these transformative art journeys!
