Announcing MATERIAL MATTERS: CONTEMPORARY FIBER SCULPTURE WORKSHOP RETREAT-SEPTEMBER 22-28, 2024

A Boste, Sauveterre-de-Béarn, France

I’m delighted to offer a residential, all-inclusive workshop retreat this fall at A Boste, an ancient castle converted into a guest house or chambres d’hôtes in Sauveterre-de-Béarn, a medieval village perched above the Gave d’Oloron and facing the Pyrenees in south-western France. Be-artz.com, Magdalena Groszek, will host the workshop.

Workshop Retreat:

Bring your creative ideas and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of an ancient French village for a SIX-DAY FIBER SCULPTURE Residential Workshop Retreat. Listen to the natural beauty around you. Let it guide your creative spirit!  All skill levels are welcome to attend.

Do you love the concept of materiality? This residential workshop retreat will allow you to dive into your creative process by using flax fiber and other materials to manifest what is deep inside into three-dimensional expressions. We will transform flax fiber into textured paper and build armatures for paper applications. We will use indigo and plant-based stains for surface embellishment. Although these materials may seem simple, with time and patience in a calming retreat setting you will be surprised at what they can become.

This is an all-inclusive workshop retreat experience. Materials, lodging, and meals are included in the fee.
