There’s something quietly magical about Christmas… especially when it’s created by hand.
Nestled in the heart of Seaside, this intimate weekend retreat is an invitation to slow down, gather close, and create something truly meaningful—your own collection of hand-painted Christmas cards.
You’ll settle into a charming boutique hotel just steps from the sugar-white sands and emerald waters, where the air feels softer and time seems to linger. Mornings begin gently, coffee in hand, as inspiration drifts in with the coastal breeze.
Throughout the weekend, I’ll guide you through watercolor techniques and thoughtfully designed holiday artwork—each piece created to help you craft a beautiful set of Christmas cards that feel personal, timeless, and full of heart. All supplies are provided, along with curated designs and inspiration, so you can simply arrive and begin.
But as with all the best things… it’s never just about the painting.
There will be moments of laughter around the table, conversations that unfold naturally, and the quiet joy of creating alongside others. Evenings may bring a walk through twinkling streets, the glow of a bonfire, or a few unexpected touches that make the weekend feel like a gift in itself.
You’ll leave not only with a collection of handmade cards ready to send into the world—but with the feeling that you’ve stepped into the season in a more meaningful way.
A little slower.
A little softer.
And filled with something worth sharing.
