Join us in the beautiful, quietude of winter. Our Winter Program provides an ideal time to come for a spiritual retreat, individual art experience, or for a group retreat. Contact us for availability at (509) 763-3693 or office@artfaith.com.
Normally we have snow from December through March, and there is ample opportunity for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and other winter activities. Nearby Leavenworth, named the "Ultimate Christmas Town USA," is a fantasy of lights and Bavarian charm from Thanksgiving through February.
Exploring Colored Pencil Techniques with Carla McConnell, Feb. 19-21
Discover what the humble pencil can do! Join us for a weekend of colored pencil exploration with nationally published artist, Carla McConnell. Arrive Friday evening for dinner and a short introduction to various pencils. Then, experiment all day Saturday with both wax and water-based colored pencils, alone and mixed with various media, to create wonderful textures and effects. This is a very non-threatening class for all levels of experience, and will provide space for individuals to try numerous combinations of materials. Sunday, breakfast will be followed by a short wrap-up, then off to home. No drawing or colored pencil experience necessary. Be prepared to be awed by what you can do!
Cost for the weekend is $150, or $90 for those not needing room/board. Enrollees should bring a sketchbook, (any size) and any colored pencils on hand. Most supplies provided.
