Sink into the wild springtime beauty of the Little Applegate Valley with me!

We'll meet at a trailhead on the Sterling Mine Ditch trail about 40 minutes from Jacksonville, hike through madrone and oak woodlands up to wide open vistas of the Siskiyou Mountains and beyond, and fill our sketchbooks with the beauties we discover along the way.

I'll provide some exercises and instruction to get us all going, then offer ample time for you to be with the land and your creative interpretations of it. This workshop is open for creators of all levels, and is particularly suitable for folks who would benefit from a playful, imperfectionist approach to making art.

BYO lunch and snacks, water, sun protection, and art supplies. Be prepared to hike about four miles total on gently uphill terrain. Trailhead directions will be shared in May.

And if you want to make a full-on retreat out of it, stay in our nearby Earthen Guest Cottage the night before or after!
