Join artist Ana Falceta for an immersive, hands-on creative retreat in the picturesque Lot Valley in France. Over the course of a week surrounded by beauty, texture, and like-minded makers, you’ll dive into the mixed media world, exploring, experimenting, and finding beauty in the unexpected. Whatever your level, Creative Awakening is designed to open your eyes, and your imagination.

Through the Progressive Sample Collection, each day builds on the last. We begin with the fluidity of watercolour, exploring organic shapes, texture, and layering. We move into intentional mark-making, discovering line, gesture, and texture as a visual language. And we finish with hand embroidery on paper, a slow and meditative practice that adds dimension and intimacy to your work. By the final day, your collection holds the complete record of your creative journey: from first mark to final stitch.

Inspired by everything you have explored and collected, you’ll channel all of that into original artworks to bring home with you. Pieces that hold the memory of a week spent seeing, exploring, and making.
