Anam Cara: Encaustic Immersion Retreat in Ireland
In ancient Celtic times, a person who acted as a teacher, companion, or spiritual guide was often referred to as an Anam Cara.
Anam Cara literally translates to Soul Friend.
We are so excited to invite you to join us for this
7-Day Encaustic
Retreat in Ireland!
Be prepared for a transformative and creative experience.
Your days will be full of encaustic adventures as we dive deep into back-to-back workshops with two of the encaustic world's top rated artists.
Keeping with the nature of a true Anam Cara...each instructor will share her own high level of expertise and knowledge to help you transform your art and take your creativity to a higher level.
In addition to concentrated time in the well equipped studio, there will also be plenty of time for lingering over home cooked meals, wandering the nearby beaches and taking in the splendor of the Irish countryside.

During each Session, students will spend three consecutive workshop days with each instructor. There will be a one day break between sessions followed by another 3 day workshop with the alternate instructor. Each workshop will also have plenty of open studio time where students can pursue creative projects on their own.
