The Pond House is the setting of our 9am group meeting for inspiration, poetry and discussion.

Enjoy four full days of immersion into your artistic practice. We will gather at 9 am at the Pond House for group inspiration and poetry. Each artist will then retreat to their covered outdoor studio for the rest of the day or take advantage of easels set up around the farm. The bell will call you back to the Pond House for lunch (which is included).

Artists are encouraged to spend time at their leisure and at their own pace to follow their path and inspiration. I will come around to each studio for conversation if desired.


Taking time to break away now and again to unwind is crucial if we want to keep growing as artists.
