Why Artists Love Our Retreats – Voices from 2025
The best way to know what makes this retreat special? Hear from the artists who joined us in 2025:
"Thanks so much for the amazing week, it was so much fun and great to learn new techniques. Loved it all. The group project was such a brilliant idea as well and it looks amazing."
"This is not my first retreat, but it was my first devoted to making visual art. I LOVED it. What I loved most: both of you created a supportive, encouraging and welcoming environment. This meant there wasn't comparison or competition in the group, and that’s the number one thing that made it so successful."
"I’ve been to lots of workshops and yours is way up there by far! My creative energy soared. I even had a moment of tears welling in my eyes one day because I felt an overwhelming sense of sheer happiness – that was huge for me. Your teaching is balanced, generous, and endlessly encouraging."
"I really appreciated the preparation that both of you had done to make the most of our time. The clear instruction, demonstrations, and generous sharing of materials made a huge difference. I loved having a space that could be left in situ for art anytime!"
