A Three-Day Drawing Retreat on Salt Spring Island
with Kaelin Palcu


August 15–17, 2025

Step away from the noise and immerse yourself in the quiet practice of figure drawing in one of the most peaceful corners of the Pacific Northwest.

Join internationally recognized figurative artist Kaelin Palcu for an intimate, hands-on workshop held at the stunning Eden Textile Studios, nestled between the ocean and mountains on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.

Kaelin brings over a decade of experience in figure drawing and sculpture. Trained at the Florence and Barcelona Academies of Art and based in New York City, her teaching blends deep technical knowledge with an intuitive, thoughtful approach to seeing and translating the human form.

Whether you're just beginning or refining your practice, this workshop offers a space to reconnect—with your craft, your senses, and the natural world.

What to Expect:
• Small group size for focused, individualized instruction
• Drawing from life in a serene, light-filled studio
• Daily demonstrations and one-on-one guidance
• Breathtaking views and a truly restorative environment

This is more than a class—it’s a retreat into the heart of drawing.

Limited spaces available.
