From joyful moments around the table enjoying locally sourced meals to late-night chats over wine and popcorn, the retreat creates a space where people come together, unplug from daily life, and fully embrace creativity in a supportive and inspiring environment.

Elemental Claycation: Saskatchewan's Only Immersive Pottery Retreat

Welcome to my beautifully restored 1919 heritage home near Wynyard, where generations of stories have unfolded and now your story begins. Surrounded by endless Saskatchewan skies and rolling landscapes between Saskatoon, Yorkton, and Regina, this is where you'll disconnect from everyday demands and reconnect with your creative spirit.

What Makes My Claycation Special:

  • Intimate Experience: Maximum 6 guests ensure personal attention and meaningful connections

  • Heritage Setting: Sleep in rooms rich with Saskatchewan history and charm

  • Expert Guidance: 22 years of pottery expertise and 30 years of teaching art with patient, encouraging instruction

  • All Skill Levels Welcome: Whether you've never touched clay or you're experienced, there's magic waiting

The Perfect Creative Escape For:

  • Friends seeking a unique bonding experience

  • Solo travelers ready to meet kindred spirits

  • Anyone craving hands-on creativity away from screens

  • Those wanting to learn pottery in a supportive, non-intimidating environment

  • People seeking genuine connection and meaningful conversations

Ready to Create Your Story? Join me for a weekend that nourishes both your artistic spirit and your need for authentic human connection. Located approximately 1.5 hours from Saskatoon, Regina, and Yorkton along scenic Highway 16, my heritage home sanctuary offers two-days of all-inclusive experiences where clay becomes art, strangers become friends, and you leave with beautiful memories.

 

With only 12 weekends I offer annually, each Friday-through-Sunday retreat includes heritage accommodation, locally-sourced meals, all pottery materials and instruction, evening fireside connections, and the pieces you create (ready 4-6 weeks after firing).

Packing List

Think of this as packing for the most creative slumber party ever, where you'll get your hands messy, your heart full, and maybe sip a little wine in your comfiest sweater.

Bring clothes you can move in and create in, your favourite cozy layers for fireside chats, and any little creature comforts that make you feel at home. (Oh, and stretchy pants... because the meals? You're gonna want seconds.)
