Artist's Retreat and Workshop with Alice Ballard

Join celebrated ceramic artist Alice Ballard for a two-day immersive experience exploring mindfulness through art and nature. This intimate workshop begins on Saturday, October 18th with a creative session at The Umstead’s One Oak Farm, where participants will hand-sculpt their own meditation bowls out of clay surrounded by the beauty of fall. This exclusive experience is limited to ten guests to ensure a personal and immersive creative journey.

The evening following the workshop, our guests will enjoy a four-course, farm-inspired dinner with the artist in Herons’ Private Dining Room, featuring a special dessert by Pastry Chef Lia Benedetto inspired by Alice’s sculptural work.

The experience includes a one-night stay in our serene guest rooms before returning Sunday morning for a final session on the Salon Terrace. With nature as a backdrop, participants will complete their meditation bowls with finishing touches and glazing under Alice’s guidance.

This retreat invites guests to reconnect with the earth, awaken their creativity, and savor the harmony between art, nature, and cuisine.
