A Supportive Session is a focused, personal conversation with Stacy designed to help you grow in your work and process. These can include feedback on your artwork, discussions about creative direction, mindset, or process, or anything you feel would best support your practice.

Before the workshop, there will be a Group Supportive Session (date TBA) where participants can share work, discuss intentions, and start building community.

After the workshop, you’ll receive a link to schedule your private one-on-one Supportive Session with Stacy at your convenience. This post-class session gives you time to reflect, ask questions, and continue the momentum from the week

This workshop is for you if you’re…

• Curious about how to source your subject and develop deeper narratives in your work
• Willing to research and dive into subject matter, staying open to experimentation and discovery
• Eager to immerse yourself in a weeklong creative process of making, sharing, and conversation
• Ready to leave with more confidence and clarity about how to bring concept, imagery, and voice together in a visual way

This workshop is for artists who are curious, open-minded, and ready to explore new ways of finding meaning and imagery in their work. You don’t need to be a representational or abstract artist—the approach invites you to stay open to discovery, to question, and to respond intuitively to your materials. Together, we’ll explore how inquiry, experimentation, and mixed media processes can help you uncover and express your own visual language.

Think of this workshop as an extension of Beyond Likeness. You don’t need to have taken the BL to join, but we’ll be building on its spirit of exploration. Rather than guided exercises, this week focuses on going deeper into sourcing your subject, using the skills and visual language you already have. Stacy will offer demonstrations, prompts, and material explorations to support your individual direction and creative development.

The workshop registration fee does not cover any travel expenses, meaning transportation to and from the workshop. As such, workshop attendees are expected to make their own travel arrangements. Breakfast and lunch are provided daily, and four dinners are included as well. Two evenings will be open for you to explore the culinary life of Taos at your own pace.

We’ll be working in mixed media with water-based materials. Each artist will decide how they want to work, what medium, size, and surface feels most right for them. You’re welcome to bring paper, wood panels, or other substrates that suit your process.

Please note: because the studio is in a historic adobe building, there is no wall space for hanging work. All creating will be done on tabletops, so it’s recommended that you do not work larger than 24″x36″.

We’ll review materials and setup details during our two Zoom meetings prior to the workshop, so you’ll have plenty of time to prepare and personalize your supplies.

It is possible to ship materials to Mabel Dodge Luhan ahead. of time. If you would like to do so, please reach out to julianna@mabeldodgeluhan.com to make arrangements.

With regards to food allergies, we will do our best to acoommodate you. After registering we will ask you to send us any food allergies you may have.
