RETREAT UPDATES

Step back in time to the glitz and glamour of the Roaring Twenties, where creativity roars as loud as the jazz bands and inspiration flows as freely as champagne at a Gatsby soirรฉe!
This weekend, weโ€™ll transport you to an era of dazzling decadence and boundless creativityโ€”a time when feathers, beads, and sequins were the height of fashion and every detail sparkled with intention.

Step into an era where jazz melodies fill the air, and creativity dances to the rhythm of the Charleston.

Mingle with fellow creators, work on your crafting projects, and forge new friendships as you immerse yourself in the glitz and glamour of the Roaring Twenties.

Retreat Challenges

At the retreat, you'll discover a Challenge Table that will be your go-to spot for all the challenges I've prepared. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ This table will have everything you need to know to get involved with the challenges.

Each challenge will have its own dedicated challenge box, which contains laminated cards outlining all the details about the challenge. If any embellishments or supplies are provided for the challenge, they'll be right there in the challenge box, ready for you to use.

How It Works: Pick up a card for the challenge you'd like to take on. When you're finished, simply return the card to the Challenge Table. If youโ€™d rather keep it on hand for reference, feel free to snap a photo of the card so you have it as you work. ๐Ÿ“ธ

To give you a little extra inspiration, Iโ€™ll also be posting hints and tips for each challenge on our Facebook event page. ๐Ÿ’ก These hints will help you decide which challenges youโ€™re most excited about and give you some ideas on how to prepare. Whether itโ€™s gathering the perfect photos, selecting your favorite stamps or stencils, or making sure you have your paints and embellishments on hand, these hints will guide you in planning ahead.

All challenge entries will be independently judged, and to make things even more fun, there will be a prize for the winner of each challenge. ๐ŸŽ So dive in, unleash your creativity, and enjoy the steampunk-inspired fun!

Challenge information will be revealed below very soon!
