FIBER COLLEGE: Touchstone Retreats

September is the time to step back and immerse yourself in four days of inspiration, discovery and hands-on making. Whether you explore something new, or expand your existing skills, our annual Fiber College TOUCHSTONES RETREAT provides a unique creative experience. There’s a reason so many artists are drawn to this part of Maine, and we spend much of our time outside, exploring our “sense of place“ and how it can enrich our work. In your workshop, you’ll be part of a small, close knit group, and get all the skills, help and support you need to develop a really personal, one-of-a-kind project - maybe even more than one! It's a chance to take a deep dive and hear your soul whispering.

When you're not in your workshop, you’ll be able to balance your work, social and alone time as the mood takes you. Studios stay open before and after class, and we continue to connect with each other, and with our teachers, sharing wonderful farm-to-table meals, taking walks along the beach, and gathering  round the campfire after dinner. Creativity is contagious! You can arrange your own accommodations or you can choose one of our new packages. 

You will go home grounded and refreshed; and, like a pebble in your pocket, your TOUCHSTONES experience will stay with you long after you leave.
