Artist Retreats – “A Day Just for You!”
It’s simple, we show up at the Studio about 9 a.m. with a project to work on and the tools that our talent requires. We then play for the whole day; carving, engraving, sculpting the day away. We end the day around 4 p.m. Lunch is POT LUCK, so we eat very well.
I had no idea how strong the reaction would become for all of us who get together regularly.
So strong in fact, I have decided to invite everyone to attend this special “Saturday Get-Away”. Maybe it will do for you what it has been doing for all of us?

Jeff Wolf Sculpting Classes
Jeff Wolf is a world renowned sculptor that has teamed up with Profitable Hobbies to bring you the highest level of sculpting instruction available today.
Jeff Wolf is one of the select few whose work is drawn from the heart. Raised in the high desert of Western Utah at the family ranch that was once a pony express station and stage coach stop, Jeff learned firsthand what it’s like to drive cattle in a freezing blizzard, out run flash floods, and choke on dust from the back of a trail herd. After a long professional career as a bull rider Jeff returned to another passion as a buckaroo in the Great Basin of Nevada and Utah. Through his life’s experiences the sculptures he has created are actual memorials to moments captured in time…viewed and experienced through his own eyes.
