Join River Gallery School teaching artist Kate Milliken for a series of hands-on art workshops held in the beautiful North Barn at Retreat Farm. These gatherings invite participants to slow down, connect, and explore creative expression in a warm, welcoming environment. Each class offers a different way to experience art—through observation, experimentation, and play—while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of Retreat Farm. No prior art experience is needed; just bring curiosity and a willingness to explore.
Basic supplies will be provided. The North Barn bar will be open for drinks and pizza during each session starting at 5pm.
Enroll in all four sessions and receive a $20 discount! All are welcome; children under 12 need to be accompanied by an adult except where noted.
Space is limited to 15 people per class and advanced registration is strongly encouraged.
FEBRUARY 15 - STILL LIFE EXPLORATIONS
Discover new ways of seeing through still life studies led by Kate Milliken. In this class, participants will experiment with a variety of materials—pencil, graphite, watercolor, collage, and even tactile media like pipe cleaners, beads, and tissue paper. Through guided exercises such as blind contour drawing and “drawing with your senses,” students will explore perception, form, and creative intuition. This class welcomes artists and beginners alike, encouraging curiosity, freedom, and personal expression.
