Drawing into Sculpture – FAB RETREATS x HEIKE TASCHNER-JESKE
TUSCANY | VENICE
25TH MAY 2026 – 4TH JUNE 2026
FAB RETREATS x HEIKE TASCHNER-JESKE
Once again, FAB Retreats invites you to join us for this unique opportunity to experience an artistic journey like no other, where drawing breathes life into sculpture. Guided by the inimitable South African multimedia and installation artist Heike Taschner-Jeske, this immersive retreat explores the expressive link between charcoal and three-dimensional form. Participants will move fluidly between mark-making and small-scale sculpture, transforming gesture and movement into tangible shapes. Through intuitive charcoal studies and hands-on sculptural exploration, artists will create 20 x 20 cm works that capture rhythm, balance, and emotion — small enough to travel home, yet deeply resonant in form. Set amidst the tranquil Tuscan landscape, our intimate pop-up studio offers a reflective space to reconnect with your creative process, experiment with new materials, and share inspiration with like-minded artists. You will be treated to authentic Tuscan food and fun-filled trips to beautiful places. This inspiring retreat will conclude with a special visit to the world-renowned Venice Art Biennale — a perfect finale to an unforgettable journey where food, art, and beauty will touch all your senses. CREATE, CONNECT, AND BE INSPIRED.
