Kathy found this interesting opportunity and we started having a discussion about it.
Archival Inn bills itself as a self-lead retreat center in Holland, Michigan. It is a house with a big kitchen that is set up as a rental for hosting retreats. It is marketed to a scrapbooking crowd, but the way the room is laid out, you could do lots of different activities.
With a work space like that you do sewing, knitting, quilting… The only limitation would be sewing machines for your guests that were flying in.
Have you ever done a retreat? Knitting? Sewing? Writing? Would you ever want to?
Here is a little list of Crafting Cruises for you to ponder.
Or, there is always an Iceland Knitting Tour.
Happy 2013. There is some planning to be done!

You would think that they would invest in some sewing machines and a serger or two. It is a great idea though.
Though I can see why they don’t. You’d have to teach people to use the particular machine & then there is the maintenance. Wouldn’t it be fun to have a Just Crafty Enough retreat though?!
Ok, after visiting Iceland last year, I REALLY want to do an Icelandic Knitting Tour. The one with the Textile Museum sounds wonderful…or the Knitting with the Elves.
I would love to but I really can’t afford such things at the moment. Occasional one day classes are my limit.
I save up all year to go to Squam. It is a wonderful experience and a terrific retreat that is definitely multicraftual. This year they have writing, photography, knitting, sewing, card weaving, crochet, painting, woodworking and basket weaving. And possibly something I forgot in the process. I’m exhausted (and excited) just thinking about it.
