StudioTime Summer 2017

Summer 2017
Special Art Retreats

This summer's offerings are challenging, magical and very empowering! I really LOVE Summer because each artist can go deeper with each project and we have more time to connect and have fun together!

The Summer Studio 4-day retreat daily schedule is (approximately) a 2+ hour morning studio session with a short break mid-morning, then a picnic lunch, cinema or restful activity break, then a second 2+ hour afternoon session. Weather and workload can alter the daily schedule.
Please bring a lunch and beverage to each day. All materials and snacks included.

The Summer program fills quickly so enroll now with a non-refundable deposit (1-day $100 or 4-day $200) or full amount. Contact patrice@alamedastudiotime.com to request a spot!
