Smashing Color Retreats for All Artists at the ArtSpace at TaborSpace in Portland, Oregon
Spend time exploring color in the beautiful ArtSpace at TaborSpace in Portland, Oregon. Located just few miles east of the center of town in the historic Mount Tabor neighborhood, TaborSpace is an innovative, grassroots community center sharing sacred space with an old stone church. There’s plenty of parking and a bus stop on the corner. It has a comfortable coffeehouse and a lunch room serving fresh soup and sandwiches. The retreats will take place in the ArtSpace on the second floor of the Parish House. The ArtSpace is spacious and well lit, with amazing views of downtown Portland.
Schedule of Retreats
Spring: Three-Day Color & Polymer Retreat, Friday to Sunday, May 11-13. Fee: $250.
Summer: Five-Day Personal Color Retreat, Monday to Friday, August 6-10. Fee: $350.

Group Discounts
I encourage groups to come together to the retreats. Learning something with friends is a huge benefit. It gives you someone to bounce ideas off and trouble-shoot with after the workshop is over. If a group of four or more sign up together, the fee is reduced by 20% for everyone.

Hi
I was fascinated to find maggie’s website. I am gradually building up my skills as a jewellery designer, and am foxusin on using a combination of polymer clay and precious metal clay. I would be very interested in doing one of the retreats, but unfortunately I cannot make the september date. Could you please let me know when you will be running the next one?
Many thanks
