This Clay Weekend Retreat invites participants to experience the perfect, quick getaway to immerse oneself in clay creation, in one of Montana’s most wild and scenic locations. The Centennial Valley is a significant landscape due to its intact ecological systems, crucial wildlife migration corridor, expansive wetlands and regenerative ranches. With a 2-night stay at the J Bar L Ranch, participants will have time to unwind, unplug and connect to the land. We will jump right in and dive deep into creating some pottery! As we disconnect from technology and busy daily life, we will spend quality in-person time, with other like-minded humans creating art. We will have time to build our clay forms (using a few different hand building techniques), and then decorate! Christine will teach a scraffito technique that she loves. When you are not working with your pottery, you can soak in the landscape by hiking, birding, exploring and relaxing. You’ll be energized and inspired as you enjoy nourishing catered meals, our historic restored accommodations, ranch horses nearby, and abundant wildlife weaving throughout your surroundings. We hope this short-and-sweet retreat, alleviates the stress of leaving home, family and work for too long, yet gives you just enough time to escape to the big sky, reset, and become totally absorbed with your art!

This workshop is open to all levels of experience - from beginner to career artist - all are welcome and will be met where they are at!
