Spring Workshops at Ilan-Lael Invite You to Create, Explore, and Connect

Looking to spark your creativity this season? The Ilan-Lael Spring Workshops are back, offering a rare chance to learn hands-on art techniques in one of San Diego County’s most inspiring creative spaces.

Set in the peaceful hills of Santa Ysabel, these intimate workshops are designed for artists and curious beginners alike—no experience required.

A Workshop for Every Kind of Maker

Whether you’re into glass, metal, yarn, or found materials, this spring’s lineup covers a wide creative spectrum.

Taught by accomplished artists in small-group settings, each class offers focused, personalized instruction and a collaborative energy that makes the experience just as special as the art you’ll bring home.

Here’s what’s coming up:

Metal Shaping with Garrett Goodwin
Learn blacksmithing basics at Hubbell Studios from a longtime collaborator on James Hubbell’s Pacific Rim Park projects.

Mosaic Art with Emilie Ledieu
Explore stained glass mosaic techniques in full-day workshops that begin with a guided tour of the Ilan-Lael property.

Yarn Painting With Timothy Hinchliff
Discover the vibrant, sacred art of Huichol-inspired yarn painting with a self-taught shaman artist whose work channels tradition and color.

See you there!

Whether you’re reigniting your creative practice or trying something brand new, the Ilan-Lael Spring Workshops offer a chance to make meaningful art in a place that’s as inspiring as the work itself.
