A Weekend of Jewelry, Creativity & Community

Dates | Location

Welcome to our Creative Metal Makers Retreat!

I’m excited for a relaxing weekend of jewelry making, creativity, and connection

at {LOCATION}.

This retreat is designed to give us time and space to work on our own jewelry projects, share ideas, and enjoy being around other creative makers. There’s no pressure to complete anything - just bring projects you’re excited about and enjoy the process.

We’ll have open studio time throughout the weekend, along with opportunities to explore the park, relax, and enjoy good conversation together.

Here's a link to the cabin we will be staying - {ADD LINK}

We will have a 3 br 2 ba cabin for the 6 of us with Wifi and full kitchen.

Your deposit will hold your spot.

This retreat is intentionally small with only five guest spots

so we can enjoy a relaxed creative environment.
