Creative Arts Retreats

This Spring I was fortunate to attend 2 creative arts retreats. The first one was in Idyllwild California where Sharilynn Miller hosted in her beautiful home, "Wild Wire Women" We learned numerous techniques for turning wire into jewelry.

The second, Art & Soul retreat was in Hampton Virginia. It was five intensive days of classes related to fabric and fiber. As a newbie to sewing, I did not complete any project, but learned a lot. I have included handbags and purses as one of my artistic offerings.
