As many of you may not know, Gene and I built a successful finishing business from scratch nearly 35 years ago by creating our own paints and refinishing products. During this retreat, we will be diving deep into these old-world recipes, teaching you how to make your own paints, glazes, gessos, and art materials.
Whether you've been a student in my courses before or have attended past events, this retreat will build on your knowledge and give you a deeper understanding of the "why" behind our finishes.
We are also excited to share our secrets on where to find the best supplies, ingredients, and recipes to make your own supplies, paints, and processes. The depth and beauty you will be able to achieve with these skills will take your art to an entirely new level.
But we didn't want to stop there...
We wanted to incorporate a focus on healthy living, wellness, and personal and professional goal-setting through world-class business coaching, daily workouts, beach walks, community bond fires, and so much more.
We believe that getting away and connecting with other artisans while enjoying incredible wellness activities will help you to improve your finishes, ignite your creativity, and hone your business skills with great mentoring and processes to make 2024 your year!
I am truly excited to have the opportunity to connect, share ideas, and support one another during this unforgettable experience. Join me on this journey and let's make this the best year yet!
Sincerely,
