Collage & Lettering with Lynn Giunta!

Hello, friends!

We're thrilled to announce the latest addition to our 2026 retreat line-up:

Dates: June 1-5, 2026

Come join us as we jump into the world of lettering and collage! We can all be kids again, creating art and finding happiness at our kitchen table. No experience necessary—just bring your willingness to play and discover magic!

Workshops will focus on basic lettering, positive and negative abstract shape collage, finding your own mantra to collage, a big group project and collaging from nature.

More About Lynn​

Lynn Giunta is a maker of things, creating happy art and positive words with scissors and collage. Every time she sits down to make something, she’s trying to recapture those moments of pure happiness that she had as a kid, sitting at the kitchen table creating crafts with her family.

Lynn stumbled into a calligraphy class while working on an undecided major in college, which opened the door to her future as a Master Lettering Artist. She started working for Hallmark Cards right out of college, and spent over 41 years there teaching workshops and creating designs with cut paper, hand lettering, and improvisation. She is a strong believer in the importance of imagination and play. She is recognized for her product excellence and her distinct, hand of the artist lettering voice.
