(UPDATE: In just 24 hours this retreat is 1/3rd sold out! Thank you to everyone who jumped in with us!)
Recently Pam Garrison, Amy Hanna and I had the pleasure of teaching together at Art Nest in Utah as many of you know. It was one of many stays together and anchored our joy of co teaching and down right fun of being on retreat together. I had such a fantastic time taking each of their classes myself that it simply wasn't enough. (Pics of that retreat here) No...Not for me and not for the many folks who were unable to get in to the sold out retreat. So we've decided to team up again. This time we will be in my little town, Ashland, Oregon. It's home of the famed Shakespeare Festival and a hoppin' little place in the summer. Pam will be doing her "What Lies Inside" workshop and giving her secrets to her layered style and ultra vintage appeal. Making journals and pages from old ledgers and making personal heirloom books.
Amy Hanna will be weaving her wondrous jewels and infusing us with her vixen skills and jewelry magic. Her class is called "Rejuvenated Jewels". ( I took this class with absolutely no idea how to even wire wrap and ended up making three kick bootie pieces that day!)
And I will be promoting my usual approach to the creative process. Using focal faces and pushing the time limits to create personal icon's and letting go of creative resistance.
And one of the things I am most excited about is that we will be in the ballroom (and the rose garden...and the garden room!) at the Historic Ashland Springs Hotel in the center of town. That means you will all get to see my favorite store of all time, PRIZE (Previously in SF) and also be close to the theatre restaurants, bead, fabric and antique stores, nightlife and cafe's. It's also two blocks from Lithia park with a creek, swimming, hiking, manicured grounds and duck ponds. Everything is walking distance. So it's eeeeeasy. YES! I'm super pumped up! This retreat will fill up quickly so we hope you will jump in with both feet and join us! You can see all the details here. And register right here.
wow this looks like a great weekend!
i love pam, she has been my teacher at silver bella a few times and she is always the best. i wish you would teach at silver bella!!
that would be awesome!

Wow, I am so disappointed to not make this retreat. Everyone that is going, I know, will enjoy it tremendously. Last summer in August, I was at the icon class and learned so much. Any chance you can change the date? I'll be thinking of everyone that weekend and missing the adventure. Me? The big family reunion that can't be missed. Linda

WAAAAAAAH!!!! i can't believe i missed this! i've wanted to attend your workshops in Ashland for the last 2 years. i'm beginning to think it just isn't meant to be. unfortunately, i've been crazy sick for weeks, too sick to even come upstairs to my computer(a good argument for a laptop, eh?). needless to say i haven't been to your blog and i sadly missed the art in ashland announcement. now it's full and i'm so bummed! oh well, such is life, they say. i'm sure it will be a tremendous time for you all. i'll just cross my fingers for next year.
sniff sniff,
