Six Weeks of Classroom Access: While a physical art retreat workshop may last a day or two, an Artful Gathering workshop allows for SIX whole weeks with your workshop materials and your instructor. During these six weeks you can go at your own pace, interact with your retreat mates, and you can ask your instructors questions.

 

Faculty:

Artful Gathering faculty set to work producing their workshops for Artful Gathering many months in advance. Our workshops are literally "hot off the press." In all instances we do our very best to release details about the workshop as quickly as possible.

Full and complete workshop details are published before workshops are open for registration. Kits and DVDS are sold separately.

Top notch instructors, well organized, good communication, easy to navigate. The best on-line workshop I've ever experienced. Christina


I have been very impressed with the idea of having workshops on line and delighted with the professional way that Artful Gathering has put it all together. I especially like the way that you can attend classes in your own time, when it suits you, and also that you can repeat these classes as many times as you wish during the workshop period. There is no "live" workshop where you would be able to do this at no extra cost! My workshop with Keith Lo Bue was very informative and enjoyable--I learned a lot. Jan.H.



Loved the feeling of being one on one with the instructor. It was like I was in his studio and he was just teaching me. I learned so much and had a great time doing it. Lynnea

Artful gathering gives me an amazing opportunity to study under my favourite teachers in a festival atmosphere. The video tuition and opportunity to ask questions makes these classes successful. For those of us who are geographically challenged ( I live in Australia) this is magic! I look forward to this gathering each year and can't wait to see who is teaching next. many thanks-Cara)

Wonderful experience all the way around! From the wonderful welcomes and door prizes to the supportive classroom environment. Linda

This is THE place to access an incredible variety of quality instruction & guidance at your own pace right in your own art making space! You receive weeks of personalized contact with recognized artists at an amazingly affordable price. In my book, it doesn't get any better than this! gloria


The " Artful Gathering wet mt appetite and tantalized my artistic talents and I took way more classes than I should have , but learned way more than I thought I could ...I wouldn't miss it for all the tea in Japan ( Ha Ha)The big PLUS is that all the online classes are user friendly. BRAVO !!!!.. ZAA ZAA

 

Fun, informative, collaborative and encouraging are the feeling I received in this experience. Paulanne
