Summer Camp Retreat

In collaboration with my amazing friend, Anne Choi of Middle Brook Fiberworks, I’m introducing a sleepaway camp for grownups that is specifically designed for yarn lovers.

On Friday, we’ll warp our inkle looms for friendship bracelets and/or lanyards before eating a delicious meal prepared by our host. Saturday’s classes include ice dyeing, ecoprinting with botanicals, and tapestry weaving with yarn, fiber, and foraged plant matter. You’ll also have plenty of time to work on your friendship bracelets, potholder looms, WIPS, or the large scale camp tapestry loom. We’ll wrap things up on Sunday, learning about traditional Korean sewing to make bojagi mobiles using silk organza and ramie fabric.. All materials are included, as well as lodging and meals. 

We'll be staying at the Blue Mountain Retreat Center in Knoxville, MD, about 1 hour from Baltimore,MD and Washington, DC. The center is located on 27 acres of mostly wooded land in the Blue Ridge Mountains. You'll have the option of foraging around the property for your botanical dyeing and tapestries. Lodging is dormitory style with primarily shared rooms. Please note if you require a single room. Massages are available at an additional cost.

Detailed class descriptions are coming soon. Space is extremely limited for this one, so don’t wait. Sign up today!
