You’ll find the Valley Ridge experience different than any other
art workshop - each workshop is a deep focus on one art form,
with a relaxed pace to give you the most knowledge, hands-on
experience and opportunity for creative personal growth. Since
1999, hundreds of students have discovered the Valley Ridge
difference, and returned time and time again.
For the 2010 season, Valley Ridge is pleased to welcome back
many of your favorite instructors, as well as several new

Every House Tells a Story |
|
| |
Carol Owen
Gather your memories of people or places significant to you, and we will begin the journey of creating a spirit house that will tell your story. Here is the place for those mementoes and scraps of papers you couldn't bear to throw out, the bits and pieces gathering dust in a drawer, the photographs in a box. All these mementos can be used as you tell your story in your personal shrine. Learn more. |

environment at Valley Ridge lets you comfortably stretch the
boundaries of your imagination. |

A beautiful setting....I
might pay $275 just to sit
in a chair outside and look
at the scenery  A beautiful setting....I
might pay $275 just to sit
in a chair outside and look
at the scenery! The studio
is beautiful....roomy, and
all those windows to receive
all that great light. The
food was great (and
beautiful to boot!) The
people taking the class were
lots of fun and so
talented. It was a special
treat to be able to stay a
little later in the evening
on Saturday night. I didn''t
expect that.
