Treat yourself to a creative workshop in a rural, peaceful setting. Stimulating classes are being offered in a beautifully restored timber frame barn on Nancy Crow’s 90-acre farm in Central Ohio.
Come study with leaders in contemporary art quilt making, 2-D design, fabric dyeing, textile design, screenprinting and surface design, while at the same time, absorbing the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Immerse yourself in art without worrying about the hassles of everyday life!
Enjoy nature’s songs and quietness while learning about composition, color, collage, drawing, printing, sewing techniques, quilting and dyeing. Enjoy the camaraderie of others with similar interests and make lasting friendships!
Oasis of Nature
Nancy Crow's farm is an oasis of trees, birds, and strawberry fields 20 miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio, near the small town of Baltimore, Ohio. The workshop retreats take place in the spring, summer and fall, times of spectacular floral displays and comfortable temperatures. Students are invited to meander through the meadows and fields during class breaks.
Professional Facilities
Each student is provided with a large work table, an 8’ x 8’ work wall, and a comfortable chair. Classrooms are well illuminated and are open in the evenings. The dye studio at the Crow Timber Frame Barn includes large padded tables, lots of light (natural and color corrected bulbs), 3 commercial stainless steel sinks, & washer/dryer. Bernina sewing machines are available for rent. All facilities are non-smoking.
Meals
During the workshops, Margaret Wolf, chef extraordinaire, will prepare fabulous gourmet lunches and dinners plus daily coffee/pastry breaks during each week of class. The nutritious meals are well-balanced, and since they are prepared, participants have more time to concentrate on their workshop. The gathering for meals also affords the opportunity for informal conversation and relaxation.

The 1880s Crow timber frame barn was originally used for storage of hay/feed and for providing shelter to livestock. The large structure was moved from the neighboring farm in 1997; renovations began in 1998. The first workshops taught at the barn were in 2001.
A tree-lined lane leads to the barn.
