July 10th – 17th
Instructor: Joann McDaniel
This summer, July 10–17, 2026, Hands Create is going international!
I’ll be teaching a week-long art retreat in the Le Marche region of Italy at a beautiful boutique hotel called Avian Art & Inspiration. The retreat is titled “An Integrated Collage Art Retreat,” and it’s an all-inclusive experience (excluding airfare).

This is the perfect trip for anyone who wants to experience authentic Italy without the crowds—enjoying delicious food, fabulous local wines, and the slower pace of Italian life. We’ll travel on four guided excursions to charming local villages and the seaside, while also creating meaningful artwork in an elegant hotel and studio overlooking the stunning Sibillini mountain range. I’ll be guiding participants every step of the way.
