Fall Bead Retreat September 20-24, 2023
Twice each year we head off for a weekend of beading, fun, beading, shopping, beading, learning a new pattern, good friends, beading, food, beading... I think you get the idea.
We do not plan structured classes, but someone is always willing to teach you just about anything you want to learn. We usually have some vendors so if you forget something, you can buy it from them or borrow it from someone else.
SPRING Retreat is usually in March; to get rid of your cabin fever. FALL Retreat is usually in September; after the kids are off for another school year and just in time to start working on those Christmas projects. We have been doing these bead retreats for 20+ years and have tried several different venues over the years. We've especially enjoyed our experiences at Camp Wapogasset in Wisconsin.
Bring whatever you want to work on along with bedding or a sleeping bag and towels. Everyone is welcome; you do not have to be a UMBS member. However, we do offer a reduced price to our members.
