Creative Retreat with Alabama Chanin and Heath Ceramics
Join an inspiring three-day creative retreat co-hosted by long-time friends and creative collaborators Cathy Bailey of Heath Ceramics and Natalie Chanin of Alabama Chanin. This immersive experience is designed to explore creativity, craftsmanship and community, offering a rare opportunity to learn from two visionary leaders in design and making. All of this takes place in the idyllic setting of our historic property.
Over three days, you’ll delve into the creative process, sewing, ceramics and more, surrounded by stunning lavender fields and lush gardens in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley. Come with an open mind and ready hands as we engage in sketching, journaling, hand stitching, textile crafting and ceramic bead-making. No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to explore and create.
Cathy Bailey will lead sessions on the creative process, sharing insights from her work at the intersection of ceramics, design and material innovation. Natalie Chanin will guide hands-on explorations of sustainable handcrafted textiles, including her signature techniques in sewing, material studies and zero-waste design. Each workshop encourages experimentation, discovery and personal creativity.
$2,498 per person includes all instruction, most materials and some meals.
Please note, lodging is not included in the price of the retreat. Email events@lospoblanos.com to book accommodations.
