Imagine having the whole day to just be creative. This day is packed with opportunities to try new things, enjoy a warm and relaxed atmosphere, and receive creative guidance from someone who will encourage you and help you find and nurture your own creativity.

This experience begins on Friday, February 10 from 4-6pm with a packet pickup and overview, in a "come and go" setting. Attendance to this is not necessary, it's just an opportunity to get situated. A tour of Lowe Mill will start at 5:00pm for anyone who would like a guided "insider" view of this repurposed mill. (if you're not familiar with Lowe Mill, it's one of the largest privately owned art centers in the country!)

Our retreat space includes a roomy classroom and a large space attached where we'll have four stations set up, each with a different technique for you to try. You'll have time to visit each of the stations throughout the day during our breakout sessions. There's also a swap room, where you can trade any supplies you would like to bring for something new to you!

Lunch is provided, and refreshments will be available throughout the day.

On Saturday, February 11 we open up at 8:30 for anyone who didn't get their packets on Friday. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and find your seat in the classroom. We'll start promptly at 9am. Here's the schedule:
