Summer 2018
Young Artist Retreats
This summer's offerings are some of the most popular StudioTime workshops ever offered! Each one is challenging, magical and very empowering! I really LOVE Summer because artists can go deeper with each project and because we have more time to connect and have fun together!

The Summer 4-day retreat daily schedule is (approximately) a 2+ hour morning studio session with a short break mid-morning. We head out to nearby parks for a picnic lunch and to move our bodies! Afterwards we offer a cinema or restful break, then a second 2+ hour afternoon session. (
Note- 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 $103 or 4-day $206) or full amount. Use this link to the StudioTime blog and easily make a PayPal deposit or payment. Please contact Alameda StudioTime at patrice@alamedastudiotime.com with you and your  artists names and contact information if you are new to the studio.

Meet Tomas, above. A magical owl and cat hybrid! This summer artists will have a chance to imagine, sketch, create backstory, design clothing and assemble their own 18" hybrid creature in this challenging and fulfilling 3-D Character Design Workshop. Following a customizable pattern, using hand and (supervised) machine sewing, embroidery, Fimo, etc., these beautiful and cuddly creatures will spring to life.
