is a retreat center, and event space located in the Driftless region of southwest Wisconsin. A place where community, creativity and nature combine to foster relationships between the land, the seasons, and the people.
Red Clover Ranch is a wonderful place to experience, this was my second time attending a retreat. The accommodations are lovely, the sauna is delightful, the environment all around is calm and relaxing. The food is fantastic- somehow it's always exactly what I want to eat! Magic!
Leslie facilitates a warm and welcoming environment for experimentation. She freely shares her tips and tricks and her favorite materials- I feel like I was able to try so many new things and I left with a stack of prompts, ideas, and a toolkit of new materials to explore. I was a little nervous going in by myself, not knowing anybody, lacking confidence in my creativity. I left relaxed, with new friends, skills, and excited to keep experimenting with watercolors.
I would highly recommend this retreat to beginners and professionals alike, ours was a mixed group and everyone seemed to get something out of their time with Leslie's guidance. Thanks again to Leslie, Annie, and the Red Clover staff! <3
I highly recommend doing any retreat at Red Clover Ranch- it is a little slice of paradise. Just the right amount of "roughing it" with comfortable and clean accommodations, beautiful details and amazing healthy food. Annie is a genius. And Leslie's watercolor teaching was top notch- I rapidly accelerated from where I'd left off all those years ago in college. Run don't walk! So fun!
I had a magical time with old friends and new over the July 4th holiday weekend. Splendid hand crafted meals by Chef Dani and team, lovely hikes on the ranch, fresh air and beautiful cabins! Can't wait for my next trip to RCC!
