Workshop Details
From Jeanne

Join me this spring in beautiful Franklin, TN for a two day workshop in the upper loft of DeAnn Gallery. Old wooden floors, worn brick and quaint window views will be our studio. The focus will be Experiments on Paper! We will begin with a stitched journal and then move into printmaking. We will explore tetra pak printing, mono printing, polaroid emulsion lift, cyanotype printing and more. We will then take all of our prints on paper, along with vintage papers, and create collages with them. We will even take one of our mono prints and create a poster out of it.

TESTIMONIALS

Lisa Kindermann

“My cup overflows with joy, peace and inspiration”—- is how I felt after attending my first workshop at Jeanne’s Living Art studio. Experiencing a workshop a Jeanne’s will not only inspire your art heart, it will minister to every part of your creative soul. You will experience touches of love, beauty and wonder everywhere: in her genuine hospitality, words of encouragement/teaching, and the delicious meals are also a feast for your eyes! The studio is a bright and joyful place where you will be able to gain new insights, make new friends, and ignite your creative Spirit. I have a job where I am continually pouring out on others, and while I love it, it can leave me weary and depleted, so coming to the workshops at Jeanne’s have become an important part of my self-care. I have found a place at the Living Studio that refreshes all parts of my creative soul – mind, body, Spirit and heart- and I am very grateful. No wonder it’s called the LIVING studio.

Attending a live workshop at Jeanne Oliver’s personal art studio in Castle Rock, Colorado was an experience that everyone deserves to enjoy. The beautiful studio is set in a gorgeous wooded surrounding with paths for walking and open areas for picnicking. We were spoiled with picnic lunches prepared by Jeanne and her family. There was something for everyone! It was the perfect retreat for refreshing and although I thought it would be the only time I would travel for a workshop to Castle Rock, I have been planning for another visit soon. Jeanne has a well-stocked studio and this is a real advantage for travelers. The biggest treat for me was having our final lunch in Jeanne’s amazing home with her warm and engaging family. It was wonderful to meet new artist friends too. We have all continued to inspire each other and reflect on the special time at Jeanne’s. I truly cannot say enough about the character and integrity of Jeanne Oliver and her family. You just feel good being there and getting to know these beautiful humans. It was an experience I will not forget and I can’t wait to do it again!
