METHOW VALLEY

Creative Workshop

with Hannah Viano & Anna Brones

This workshop is an opportunity for those who are looking for a shorter getaway a little closer to home (for US residents) but still seeking the space to recommit to their own creative practice, experiment with new mediums, connect with others, and just generally recharge. We will revel in the colors and transitions of fall and explore LINE, PATTERN and PLACE in a supportive small group setting.

Our days

We will split our time between studio work and easy rambles in the countryside that allow us time to gather inspiration, do creative activities, and reflect with writing prompts as we explore. We will also share delicious home cooked local food, and have time to relax and connect with our group.

Our location: The Methow Valley is located about 4 hours from Seattle, Washington, USA or 5 hours from Vancouver BC, Canada. It is at the eastern feet of the North Cascades, and will be in full fall glory in October with yellow cottonwoods and aspen lining the rivers and larches lighting up the mountain passes. The air will be crisp and cool, with possibly frosty mornings and pleasantly warm days.

The retreat runs from 9:30-3 Friday,Saturday, and Sunday with a slow coffee start

what’s included:

  • Home-cooked local lunch, fika and hot drinks each day

  • All class materials & instruction

  • A curated travel art kit to take home with you
