The 4-part workshop series is informally led by four artists local to Yellow Springs. Sherraid Scott is a printmaker who reserves time for work with watercolors. Pat Robinow is a painter working primarily in oil with still life and landscape. Beth Holyoke is a ceramic artist and strawbale house builder who enjoys pastel landscapes. Margrit Tydings-Petree is a Kentucky-born mixed-media artist who enjoys figurative work along with travel drawing in pen and charcoal.

The artists workshop is a pilot program designed to gauge public interest in retreats and creative workshops. Proceeds benefit Glen Helen. You will be provided with directions to Birch House upon registration, along with any meal preferences.
