We
had the most wonderful experience at Triple Creek Ranch in Darby,
Montana. Greg was invited to join the artist weekends and teach a
special workshop. Triple Creek is a very special place. The
moment you arrive you are welcomed like you have just come home.
Home to five star cuisine, luxurious cabins and the breathtaking scenery
of the Montana Rockies.
Triple Creek Ranch has been rated the number one Inn in both the United
States and Canada by Travel an d
Leisure Magazine. It is easy to see why, once you experience
the luxurious comforts it has to offer. The extensive Western Art
Collection throughout the Lodge and the cabins is phenomenal. The
innovative cuisine is truly a decadent experience. The fine dining
had us quick stepping back to the lodge to see what the chef had waiting
for us next. The intuitive personalized service makes one feel
welcome and catered to immediately. The activities at Triple Creek
range from fly fishing in some of the best waters in the US to horseback
riding in some of the most beautiful country. It simply shouldn't
be missed!
Greg joined Jean Richardson and Steve Oistad for a wonderful weekend of
painting and sculpting and gourmet food and wine. Guests were
welcome to participate with the artists or observe their methods, while
enjoying
all the amenities at Triple Creek. Greg enjoyed the workshop
setting and the opportunity to teach sculpture to a great group of
people. Greg's class was excited to give sculpting a shot
and dove right in. They got so into working with the clay that
Greg had to encourage all to step away from their work for a moment to
each lunch and come back with fresh eyes. It was amazing to
attempt to see through a sculptor's eyes and make that translate that to
one's hands as we tried to create work in the round.
On Friday evening we were joined by owner, Craig Barrett and invited to
tour the art collection at his personal residence on Triple Creek.
Wow! Craig stayed and participated with all three artists in a fun
filled "quick draw" to wrap up the weekend. We'd never seen
anything quite like it! It was a wonderful experience that we are
already looking forward to repeating next fall.
We would be happy to share the full schedule of events for the weekend
and assist you in joining us at Triple Creek Ranch. This is the only
workshop Greg offers, at any time. We hope to see you there with
us next year!
We encourage you to visit the
Triple Creek Ranch website to explore their lodge, cabin
accommodations and full list of amenities.
Our special thanks to all at Triple Creek Ranch for a wonderful weekend.
And to Michael, Cindy, Kristen, Libby and Kevin - you were a great group
to work with!
