6 Day Encaustic Retreat with Kelly Milukas & Dietlind Vander Schaaf

This 6 day artist retreat will deepen your practice through an exploration of art making, design thinking, collage, upcycling, art and devotion, joy and mindfulness. In this immersive retreat, in the hidden coastal-farm communities of Tiverton and Little Compton, Rhode Island, Kelly Milukas and Dietlind Vander Schaaf will guide you building both a unique encaustic shrine and a dimensional totem. A special encaustic focus on dimensional surface treatments; collage, gilding, casting and embedding objects in wax; image transfer; creating texture; color mixing; mark making; layering; and working with other compatible painting and drawing mediums, we will explore the way art can honor happenings of the past, mark change/transition, ignite transformation, and serve as an extension of mindfulness practice.

The retreat includes 1:1 time with 2 R&F Core Instructors, a live sound bath, daily yoga sessions, enjoyment of the meditation garden; a heated salt water pool; and delicious healthy meals. Sunday kicks off with an opening celebration, studio breakfasts daily, 5 gourmet lunches, snacks & coffees, teas, beverages, and 2 group dinners.  *See the vast amount of curated materials included below.*

Experience: Participants need a basic understanding of encaustic, including application and be comfortable fusing wax paint with a torch.
