Not a class. An adventure.

A Creative Retreat for Every Maker

We wanted to create a space for all makers to restore, renew, and reclaim their creative selves. There are no required sessions, no homework, no pressure to produce. We're going to Antigua to explore, connect, and make things — on our own terms. Whether you knit, crochet, embroider, sew, paint, or make anything at all — if you're a maker who loves culture and community, this trip was built for you.

Culture
Colonial streets, ancient ruins, and centuries-old craft traditions around every corner.
Community
An intimate group of makers who love creating beautiful things.
Creativity
Hands-on weaving and cooking classes, plus evenings gathered together making things.
Freedom
A built-in free day to explore on your own. This is your vacation — enjoy it your way.
