This half-day retreat, led by Carol and her daughter Holly Wren Spaulding, poet and educator, is an opportunity to spend time in and outside the studio, surrounded by art, poetry, luscious materials, and views of the sky and gardens. Participants will be guided through a process involving improvisational collage and other creative exercises to get you making objects of personal significance.

Inspiration will be found in the following:

• art and writing as contemplative practice

• spontaneity & improvisation

• the pleasure of making something with our own hands

• a spirit of experimentation

“Messing Around with Paint” and “Messing Around with Paint, Paper and Paste” classes are offered during the fair weather seasons when we can take advantage of working outside in the pleasant surrounds of our family yard and garden as well as inside my studio.

Classes focus on either painting with gouache paints or mixed and painted paper collage work. I encourage experimentation, working in multiples, and maintaining an initial non-judgmental approach to one’s work. My intention is to help folks to develop an enjoyable and lively art making practice.

Class dates will be announced here, as well as on my Facebook Page, Carol C Spaulding, Artist.
