MakerCraft Studio: We are open for Retreat Reservations!


Dear friends,

We are finally ready to accept reservations for retreats hosted by Patti and Cass at the new space.

These will be 4-day retreats at which you can work on your own projects.

The dates are:

  • July 25-28, 2024
  • Aug 30-Sept 2, 2024 (Labor Day weekend)
  • Sept 26-29, 2024
  • Oct 24-27, 2024

The cost is $350/weekend and that includes meals. You’ll need to pay a $100 deposit when you book; the balance is due 30 days before the retreat.

Weekends start at 9 AM on the first day and run until 5 PM the last day. The meals included are lunch on the first day through lunch on the last day. There is an option to exclude meals. There are two kitchens at the space, and if you choose to cook your own meals, you’ll have to do so in the upstairs kitchen. There is a discount of $50 for this option. Use code MEALS at checkout.

Once a room is booked, it won’t be available anymore, so don’t delay if you want to sign up!

The terms for these retreats are as follows:

  • $100/retreat is due at the time of booking.
  • Balance is due 30 days before each retreat.
  • You can choose to pay the full amount at the time of booking.
  • You can request a refund (minus a $25 administrative fee) up to 30 days before the start of each retreat.

If you have any issues booking, just hit reply and I’ll do my best to help you!

We also have availability for retreats at Nora’s in Denver, PA, in May 2025 and in Lancaster, PA, in September 2024. Visit the links to learn more!

  • May: https://internationalquiltersguild.org/may-2025/

We are trying to get a group together for a weekday-only retreat at Nora's in Denver, PA, the week of August 19-24, 2024. Email us if you're interested in that retreat.

Finally, we are still working on the technical requirements for you to book your own retreats and events at the space. If you're interested in booking a retreat, email us and we can help you out!

Thank you all again for your support!
