November Paradise Weekend Retreat SOLD OUT

Thank you to everyone who has booked – the November Paradise Weekend Retreat is now completely sold out.

Don’t worry, we have another one planned for April next year – we don’t have the final date yet, but it’s looking like the weekend of the 9th or 16th of April 2010.  You can register your interest with Judith now and you will be the first to get the info when that one is finalised.  Please put APRIL RETREAT in the subject line of your email or it may go into her junk mail folder and she won’t see it.

Paradise Weekend Retreat

How would you like to spend a weekend with myself and Lynn – playing, learning, having fun and meeting like minded crafters? Well now you can as I reveal more details about Graphicus’s very first weekend retreat.

This exclusive, not to be missed event is being held at Blackwell Grange hotel in Darlington. Starting at 4pm on Friday 13th November and running through until 4pm on Sunday 15th, it will be packed with exciting and innovative projects that are guaranteed to set your imagination into overdrive!

This is your chance to explore materials and techniques that you may not be familiar with, but which will enhance your crafting knowledge and stir those creative juices. It will also be a fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas, tips and techniques with fellow crafters and immerse yourself in all things arty. I really can’t think of a better way to spend a weekend than to craft, play, learn and make lots of new friends.

All the classes are being taught by Lynn and myself, with one exception; guest tutor Jean Hardy, from Crafty Individuals, will lead the Sunday morning class using her wonderful line of stamps and papers. We will be crafting well into the evening on Friday, all day Saturday until late evening and all Sunday until 4pm, with only a few minor interruptions (lunch, dinner, sleep!). All this and you can shop too!  It really promises to be a crafting heaven – Paradise in fact!

So if you would like to join us on our artistic journey and be part of the event that everybody is talking about you need to book NOW – see details below! You better hurry though, as places are limited.
