Slow down, look deeper, and transform the way you see the world. In this workshop, photography, using only your cell phone, becomes a mindful practice—a way to observe, connect, and create with greater intention. All you need is your phone and an open eye.
Course Full, Waitlist Only.
Shape, sculpt, and discover the voice of the clay. Whether you're new to pottery or returning with experience, this hands-on workshop offers a full journey—from wheel and hand-building to early firing techniques—in the Guild’s original craft studio. An optional $40 materials fee covers firing and allows you to take your finished pieces home.
Connect with the land and traditional skills through observational drawing. This class welcomes all levels and offers daily demos and one-on-one instruction as you create works inspired by the Guild’s landscape and architecture. Students are required to bring their own sketchbook.
Participate in a theater experiment that provides gentle challenges and explorations in a safe space. Using both classical & modern texts, games and improvisations, we will exercise, play, feel, move, go a little deeper into ourselves, connect with others and learn from each other.
