Folklore & Fairytales 2024

We’ve planned another Art, Culture, Adventure Retreat! Come create with us at Folklore & Fairytales, May 12th – 17th, 2024, in New Orleans, Louisiana at the wonderful Hotel Provincial! Your fabulous facilitators will once again be Tracy Buechler of Be Brave Studio and Theresa Ratcliff of Blue Tulip Designs.

During this creative adventure each participant will create a Soul Sister art doll and an accompanying fine silver Talisman that will uniquely reflect the creators' personality through color, embellishment, and creative story. Participants will also be treated to a bit of folklore and fairytale by way of a guided city tour and a walking ghost tour, which will both entertain and enlighten everyone about the rich history and culture that is found nowhere but New Orleans.

This Art, Culture, Adventure Retreat will be held at the picturesque and serene Hotel Provincial in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans. Hotel Provincial is just one block away from the famous French Market and the Ursuline Convent, and a four minute stroll from Jackson Square.
