Retreats & Workshops
Family Heirloom Arts workshops, classes and retreats offer you the opportunity to take a break from your busy life and immerse yourself in the creative process. We invite you to join us for one of our upcoming hands-on art and writing programs. Connect with the creative community by exploring personal storytelling through art and story. Learn techniques for creating narrative images, bringing your story to life through the written word, and getting started on your own illustrated heirloom book. Create work to treasure throughout your life and share with future generations.
Check out our schedule of upcoming programs and contact us to register. Do you want Lisa to facilitate one of these workshops for your family or community group? Lisa can come to you and present any of the workshops listed on the offerings page, or she can design a custom workshop just for your group. Lisa is also co-founder of Touchstone Retreats, offering you the chance to immerse yourself in the creative process through our weekend art and writing retreats held twice a year, in the fall and in the spring, at Alton L. Collins Retreat Center in Estacada, Oregon. Touchstone Retreats also offers retreats for organizations throughout the Pacific Northwest, providing specialized programing for staff retreats, spiritual and meditation programs, and community groups including caregivers, educators, counselors, artists, writers, and social justice activists. Artist residencies for schools and educational organizations offer students of all ages the opportunity to create art and writing about their family stories over the course of several sessions.
