Starting in 2014, I hosted Art Retreats in Providence Rhode Island and when I moved back to Cape Cod I started hosting them here. When I moved back to Cape Cod and found Cape Space in Hyannis to host the art retreats I couldn’t have been happier! It is bright, spacious and it doesn’t hurt that the decor follows my love for teal! This will be our 4th year of retreats on Cape Cod.

Creative Journey: An Art Retreat on Cape Cod

What is a Creative Journey Art Retreat? Imagine walking into a spacious, bright, inspiring creative space — this is where you will start your creative journey. During the retreat, you will be creating a stack of winter/holiday cards. No matter if you are a card maker, a papercrafter, a scrapbooker or all of the above, this retreat is for you!

As always there will be on-site shopping from a variety of companies such as Lawn Fawn, Purple Onion Designs, Ranger Ink, Stampers Anonymous, Therm o web, Neat & Tangled, Newton’s Nook, Concord & 9th, Impression Obsession, Hero Arts and more!

Did you know I have had people attend the Art Retreats from several different states and 4 countries!?! Photos posted on Instagram by me and attendees here.

Anyone who likes to play with paper wants to be inspired, enjoys learning new techniques, or just wants some “me” time, this event is for YOU! You can come for the full weekend or just one day, that is up to you. The fee per day is $140. This includes supplies and your project, lunch, snacks, and beverages, as well as other goodies!

“I have been to 5 of Jenn’s retreats and this was my 2nd Mixed media retreat, I love learning to use different mediums and Jenn is a fantastic teacher. It’s a stress-free environment, everything you need is right at your fingertips. I try not to miss any….”
– Karen MA

“Jenn’s Art Retreats are each a wonderful day of learning and creative fellowship, filled with fun projects. She shares new techniques and provides a very supportive and comfortable environment.  A perfect vacation day away from home and a great value!”
