Fireside Creative: An Autumn Art Retreat

November 16–20, 2026 • Fairhope, Alabama

Imagine stepping away from the busyness of everyday life for five beautiful days surrounded by creativity, nature, fellowship, and inspiration.

Join Elizabeth Rhodes and Ginger LaCour for a 5-day, 4-night creative retreat where you’ll create beautiful art, learn new techniques, make new friends, deepen your faith, and simply have time to breathe.

This isn’t just an art workshop. It’s a chance to get away, get inspired, and rekindle your creative spark.

🎨 Create Something Beautiful

We’ll explore several creative mediums together, including:

🎨 Acrylic Painting
✨ Glass & Resin
💧 Watercolor
🖌️ Decoupage / Paper Painting
🎄 Christmas-Themed Projects

Some of our projects will be Christmas-themed, giving you the opportunity to create beautiful pieces for your home, holiday decorating, or even handmade gifts.

Come ready to create, be inspired, and bring a little Christmas magic home with you! 🎄✨
