Details about our Bead Retreat
This will be our 10th year of hosting a bead retreat. The Dancing Bear Bead retreat is a very unique event. We will have 4 projects to do included in the class fee.
The class projects will be announced closer to the event.
This year our teacher will be Cheyenne Faulkner! She is an excellent bead artist as well as a great teacher. These are her links: Instagram@beadsbycheydesigns

All of the projects will be fun, and will also be smaller projects so that the
attendees can complete them by the end of the retreat.
Trust that the selected projects will be a lot of fun and challenging.
We found a great hotel to have our event at! We are very excited about this, as rain or shine we will be able to have our event.
We will have 4 small projects to do included in the price of the event.
Bring your unfinished projects to open beading.
We will also have beads and supplies available for purchase at the event.
On Friday we will have our Meet and Greet in the lobby. Last year attendees wanted to have more fun on Friday. So we will be doing some fun games with the group, as well as a Crafty White Elephant Gift Exchange. The gift exchange is optional. Attendees who want to participate should bring and item that is $20 in value and is handmade by the attendee participating.
