I'm a lifetime student or lifetime crafter always in search of learning something new. So, for someone like me, what could be better than taking online classes. I love taking online arts & crafts classes and could, literally, spend 24/7 just doing this.
In 2012 I discovered the Artful Gathering online classes and fell in love with them. They offer online art retreats that are available in the Spring and Summer each year that are are taught by some of the most unbelievable and creative artists I have ever encountered and whose creativity is beyond measure.
Artful Gathering was established in 2009 by Christina Zinnia Galliher, who is an exceptional artist in her own right. I am taking her "Leonardo Loves Zia" class this Spring and can hardly wait.
Here's what Zinnia had to say about Artful Gathering: Artful Gathering Online Art Retreats is a one-of-a-kind online event destination. Each summer we celebrate our annual tradition of presenting brand new mixed media art workshops, with new and returning art mentors.
We have been presenting our retreats online for at least a decade, working side by side with artisans from all over the world. We gather online in the spirit of our like-minded passion for learning, and out of a mutual reverence for the individual differences that make our artistic perspectives unique to us.
Our workshops are designed and presented by real-world working artists. Our mentors are selected not only on the basis of their knowledge and expertise within a particular genre, but for their passion for sharing with and inspiring others on the journey.
Artistic people don't all fit into the same niche. Most of us are like a unique tapestry woven together with our personal experiences and creative vision. This is why Artful Gathering embraces a wide variety of artistic perspectives; there is always something new to see, do, and learn!
We love to seek new ways to inspire your imagination and broaden your horizons. What better way to learn than to see through the eyes of a kindred spirit. We hope to spark a passion for art in you.
So far I've taken 11 Artful Gathering e-classes and can hardly wait to take classes this spring and summer. I wasn't able to take any classes last year so, as you can imagine, I'm itching to go.
I've always looked forward to the excellent instructing by all the phenomenal artists that teach at Artful Gathering but, what really makes the classes outstanding is the student and teacher class participation. That's what makes all the classes so delightful. My guess is this year will be no different.
Am I in love with the Artful Gathering choices this year. Absolutely! There are so many classes I wanted to take, but couldn't fit them all in time wise. Here's what I decided to take:
Artful Gathering 2019 Session 1 "Leonardo Loves Zia" Class by Christina Zinnia Galliher
Artful Gathering 2019 Session 2 "Beyond the Imaginarium: A Compendium of Holiday Merriment" Class by Mary Jane Chadbourne
