Bead in France With Kate Richbourg of Beadshop.com | May 30-June 6th, 2024.

Kate Richbourg has been one of my favorite jewelry making teachers of all times. I have taken classes with Kate throughout the years and watch A LOT of her Facebook Live videos and tutorials on beadshop.com.

When I heard that Kate and Jen Cushman had partnered up to offer a class in France, I was so excited to go! Unfortunately, I have some other commitments that prevent the dates working for me. I hope that you will be able to go, because it looks amazing!

Here are the details!

Hear What Host Jen Cushman Has To Say!

“If you’ve got the winter blues and dream of sunshine, the smell of fresh baked baguettes and delectable desserts, visions of centuries old buildings and other feasts for the senses, take a little stroll with me (Jen Cushman) through the South of France with Soul Stirring Retreats.

Kate Richbourge / @beadkate of @beadshopdotcom and I did a broadcast last week where I walked her students through the sights and sounds of La Cascade and our upcoming adventures in the Midi Pyrenees region of France this summer. This carousel is part of the presentation but be sure to check out the slideshow in its entirety to get a true behind-the-scenes peek.

This is an intimate art retreat experience and there are very few remaining spaces. If a trip to the South of France filled with vibrant art making, fresh food, inspired excursions and instant camaraderie with like-minded artists appeals to you please check out this fun broadcast for all the details.

Wait lists are expected so please act quickly if you feel the calling in your heart. The experiences myself and guests artists @euler.patti Patti, Kate and Cas @casholmestextiles have been creating behind the scenes for the last six months for our students have been a labor of love. We can’t wait to share!” – Jen Cushman
