Early registration is now open for
ReMe - The Sandhills - October 2017!  

(Yay!)

And we're happy to annouce

(Insert Drumroll Here!)  

that due to popular demand

(More Drumroll Here!)

We have a new house to call Home for ReMe - The Sandhills - 2017! 

• This house is all that we could have imagined for our perfect home in The Sandhills.  
• It's located in the Historic District in Downtown Pinehurst, North Carolina.
• It's within walking distance of The Village and its shops and restaurants.
• It's within a twenty minute drive of our studio classroom.
• There's an outdoor garden and yard area that's beyond beautiful.
• There's a cozy living room and fireplace for informal gatherings.
• There are several dining areas and other gathering places.
• There's also a pool table, a dart board, a hot tub, and so much more!

The only downside to this property is that there will be room to house just ten guests, plus your ReMe Hosts, Jean Skipper and Jodi Ohl.

We'll be offering two different ReMe Retreat Reservation Options next year as a result.  The first will include lodging in The ReMe House, and the second will be offered for guests who wish to coordinate their own lodging.

Rooms in The House will be filled as reservations for them are received.  If informal communal gatherings are a priority in your ReMe Retreat Experience, we encourage you to reserve early to be sure that space is available.

You'll find photos of the house and more information about it here...

Day 4: ReMe Retreats' Favorite Things - Art Supplies - Wire!

Today we'll continue the "ReMe Retreats' Favorite Things - Art Supplies!" Series.  In no particular order; Jodi, Penny, and Jean are taking turns while sharing a few of their creative must-haves.  In the following, Jean's will share her passion for wire.

*************************************************************************************************

A happy find from the construction zone that is my studio!

As a child, I fondly remember my cousins fashioning rings and people from brightly colored telephone wire.  It was magical; they were older, and I was jealous!  I never would have guessed then that my creative path would bring me full circle to my love affair with wire.  If I were stranded on a desert island with only a few supplies, wire would be one of them. 

This year, when my Mother spent time as an inpatient at our local rehab center, I decided to work while I visited with her.  When I arrived and opened my tool box, I realized that I didn't have what I needed to complete my intended project.  

Instead of being disappointed in this discovery, I issued a challenge to myself.  I allowed myself to create with wire and found objects from Mom's room alone...no beads...no pliers...no other tools of any kind.  I find that limiting the materials, tools, or color palette of my work can stretch me creatively in ways that are hard to imagine.

These photos illustrate a few of the results from this project...

Day in and day out, wire also serves as the basis for many of the cold connections in my work.  From wire wrapped connections to links fabricated from wire alone to rivets made exclusively of wire; I can't get enough of this stuff!

ReMe Retreats - It's All About The People

ReMe Retreats was founded with Art at the core, and we quickly came to realize that Art was only a part of a much larger picture.  The Magic of ReMe really happens when we combine our love of Art with our Guests, Instructors, and The Friends of ReMe.  

You'll see what we mean as you browse the ReMe - Ocracoke- May 2015 photos that follow:
