Seminars, retreats and workshops are a great way to nurture the creative spirit. Short sessions can be half- or full-day hands-on programs or 1-hour talks. Retreats run 3 days. Workshops are weeklong intensive courses that include a mix of classroom discussion, field trips, personal work and one-on-one time with the instructor.
