Painting Workshop.
Guided painting workshops in the on-site studio, layered into any retreat on the 58-acre preserve.
A guided painting session in the SculptDecor studio.
Painting workshops at Raven's Retreat run by the pond, at the Art Bungalow, the Art Lodge, on the wellness trail, or in the on-site studio. Sessions are guided end to end: a short demo, a prepared subject, and hands-on guidance while you paint. Every guest leaves with a finished piece. Perfect for solo retreatants, couples, and corporate offsites looking for a low-pressure, high-yield creative experience.
