We are SO excited to announce that our fabulous demonstrator Michelle Johnson will once again be heading along to the Inkc Retreat this October!

This craft-packed Christmas event runs for 3 days at the end of October and is the MUST ATTEND craft extravaganza to lead you into the Holiday Season!

The Inkc Retreat is such a delightful event which brings creative types from all sorts of backgrounds together.

There’s something so special when artistic communities unite!

Crafty get-togethers are always so fun and welcoming! You’re bound to have a blast and leave with new friends -and projects, to see you through until the New Year!

At the Inkc Retreat, you will be provided with your own workspace. You can bring your own projects, take part in group demonstrations and be as productive as you like, at your own pace.

There is a craft store on site, lunch as well as refreshments are available, and to top it off a goodie bag will be provide as well!
