Fibre Retreat Update

Since posting a few days ago about the possible Fibre Retreat, some important details have been finalized ... I've copied some info from Sharon's emails, and compiled them as one big thingy here. There are a few details that are different/new than the Ravelry info I have been posting. Enjoy!


FIRST ANNUAL FIBRE ARTS RETREAT

I felt we all need a mental uplift after a long winter. My thoughts were to keep it simple and relaxing for ALL, hence we will not have workshops ~ bring your own projects and have FUN!! You may move about the resort at your leisure, meet new people, exchange ideas, show and tell, and learn from each other. This is why the event is not structured… The format is taken from NETA’S, Spa, Knit & Spin which started in Portland, Maine, February 2003. Their motto is “Keep It Simple, Sweetie” K.I.S.S.

Yes, there will be door prizes!

We are hoping for a great turn out and White Point is looking forward to hosting our retreat in the years to come…Once again this is not structured - if you are new to your craft the room will be full of mentors ~ don’t be bashful. ~ this is to be a weekend of total relaxation…

Don’t forget to walk on the beautiful beach! The Ocean Spa is also available for those seeking spa treatments which can be booked individually.

The White Point Beach Resort has set aside 20 rooms. I suggest that you book early to be sure they will have enough rooms available. We are already up to 25 people…
