South Bear Summer Arts Retreat

Spaces are still available in each medium at the South Bear School Arts Retreat this Summer! Join our retreat-style pottery courses with multiple teachers from the upper midwest, where you’ll learn techniques passed down for six centuries through the Potters Guilds of Europe. Or participate in our shorter workshops, including Printmaking with Clara Wodny and Plein-Air Painting with Spencer Hodge. Camp here at South Bear along beautiful Dry Run Creek, or stay nearby in the town of Decorah. Enjoy a creative workshop that encourages personal artistic growth and helps develop your skills and artistic vocabulary. Perfect for students of all skill levels seeking hands-on, immersive arts experiences. Learn more at Southbearschool.org, and register for classes at https://southbearschool.org/artsretreat-2026.html
