Express your Creative Spirit with Art Classes

Meet a local artist here at Bishop’s Lodge Resort where you will chat about your interests and possibilities for painting. They will then choose an appropriate, inspiring and scenic spot in the heart of Santa Fe where they will be your guide and creative mentor as you experience the sights and sounds while painting on location or “en Plein air” with watercolors. This is a great experience for artists of all levels; even if you don't consider yourself an artist you'll walk away feeling fulfilled and with a renewed appreciation for your surroundings.

Join artist Dawn Chandler for a private, joyful exploration of color through the art of collage—arranging and gluing beautifully cut papers. With a trove of hand-painted papers crafted by Dawn, you will engage in creative exercises designed to enhance your color awareness, focusing on the vibrant palette of New Mexico. All materials are provided, including a beautiful packet of collage supplies for you to take home. This workshop welcomes all skill levels; no prior art-making experience is necessary. Space is limited to a maximum of 8 guests.

Local artist and world traveler Lisa Flynn will share her passion for visual storytelling and journal making along with journals she has created while traveling. She will guide you with creative tips and ideas as you create your own colorful travel journal; a personal mixed media collage of memories, impressions, and adventures that will come to life on the pages in a notebook you can treasure and also share with friends and family.
