Join us for our First Annual Bead Retreat!

St. Francis Retreat Center, San Juan Bautista, California

Please save the dates: September 15-17, 2017

We have an amazing beading and design retreat planned for 

a small community of 25 beaders. We hope you can join us. 

We're going to the rustic but beautiful 

St. Francis Retreat Center in San Juan Bautista. 

There will be lots of learning, good food, graceful surroundings 

and hopefully, the chance to meet new friends and reconnect with old. 

Come and get away and bead with us for a weekend to remember.

Kate, Janice and Emily will be sharing their three styles of Designing with Color:

Kate will teach you how to tap into your personal color intuition 

and find your inner color voice. 

Janice will help train your eye to see beading 

through color and to select palettes that reflect your "bead print". 

And, Emily, the newest addition to our Learning Team, 

will share how to create a color story 

via the process of color-staining beads.

We'll do all this while creating the most amazing jewelry!

(PS- It's Kate's birthday weekend, 

so we're going to throw her a surprise party...don't tell anyone!)
