Chanticleer: Make Something Beautiful: A Four-Hour Artist Residency at Chanticleer
October 3 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Spend an unhurried day at Chanticleer in a workshop designed to feel like a mini artist’s residency.
This intimate gathering welcomes all creative practices: writing, drawing, painting, sketching, photography, or any medium that speaks to you. No experience necessary, just a willingness to see with fresh eyes and make something new.
We’ll begin with introductions and a contemplative walk through the garden, noticing light, texture, color, and form. Then settle into a spot that calls to you and enjoy generous time for independent creative work—whether that means filling a sketchbook, capturing images, or crafting words.
At midday, gather for a bring-your-own picnic lunch and conversation about how gardens feed creative life, refill the creative well, and spark new work. After lunch, receive additional prompts and continue your practice with fresh inspiration.
We’ll close with optional sharing followed by practical ways to sustain Chanticleer’s inspiration in your creative life long after you leave.
Come as you are. Leave renewed.
What to bring: Your creative materials (journal, sketchbook, camera, paints, etc.), picnic lunch, water bottle, comfortable walking shoes
