The Details: please make sure to read before signing up!
Our place: The
Autumn Festival 2011 is a very small, intimate retreat in my island
cottage with class size between 6 and 12 students per day and priority
given to those attending multiple classes. We will be working in my sunroom with tons of
natural light, views of water, wetlands, numerous birds and sunrises.
And if the weather cooperates we can take a glass of wine down to the
beach to watch the sunset. Make sure to bring walking shoes, warm layers
and your camera! We are located in Greenbank, WA an easy walk from
the beach and also next to the 500 acre Greenbank Farm reserve with
numerous trails, expansive views as well as galleries, gardens, wine
tasting room, wine and cheese shops and a lunch-only restaurant that
sells fabulous rustic bread made at the farm.
Food: I
will be making lunch, hor d'oeuvres and dinner for each full day of
beading (just lunch for the half day on Wednesday, October 19 and only light refreshments on the last felting day). Meals on the Thursday tour of Whidbey will be purchased separately at whichever restaurants we choose to visit.
Please
let me know if you have any dietary restrictions.
Cost: Workshop
tuition is $110 per full day for classes I teach, and $135 per day for
the felting classes by San Diego based guest instructor Arlene Watson.
Each day includes full day of instruction, full color handouts, lunch,
dinner and of course wine and hors d'oeuvres in between. The half-day
class includes lunch only. The last felting day will include light refreshments only.
Registration Details: Registration
is now open for those wishing to attend the entire retreat or individual classes. Register soon if you would like to attend the entire retreat so that classes in the middle don't overfill. Please note that retreat spaces cannot be guaranteed. Tuition payment is
required to reserve your spot for each day of class you wish to attend
and will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. You may pay via
the PayPal button on my website or contact me for other options. I
reserve the right to cancel any class that has not attained the minimum
of 6 people. You will be contacted by e-mail and may choose another
class or opt for a refund
Cancellation Policy: I’m
sorry, but due to the tremendous amount of preparation time and cost, I
cannot accept refunds after August 31, 2011. All requests for refunds
made before August 31st will incur a $15 processing fee per class.
However, you may transfer your registration to another person at any
time without incurring any fees (please just notify me with the new name
and e-mail).
How to get there and where to stay: Please
note that transportation to and from the retreat, overnight
accommodation and breakfast are not included in the retreat cost and
must be made separately on an individual basis.
Greenbank is 1 ½ hours from both Seattle (via ferry) and Bellingham (via Deception Pass) and makes for an easy day trip. There
is a free Island County bus that meets each ferry - our bus stop is at
the Greenbank Store (about 1/2 mile from our cottage). If you choose to
take the shuttle, let me know and I will pick you up (and drop you
off).
For those wishing to stay on the island, here are some wonderful places to stay and all just a short drive from our cottage:
Greenbank (5 to 15 minutes)
Log Cabins B&B (5 minutes and I can pick you up) http://www.guesthouselogcottages.com/index.html
Blue Goose Inn http://www.bluegooseinn.com/index.html
Lovejoy Inn http://www.thelovejoyinn.com/Coupeville-WhidbeyIsland.html
Cottage on the Cove http://www.cottageonthecove.com/
Camping (10 - 45 minutes) -
all of these are stunning camp grounds! My parents took me year after
year to Deception Pass, and my little family and I have been camping at
Fort Ebey for the last 12 years - these are the places that made us
fall in love with Whidbey Island! We have just discovered South Whidbey
State Park - it is only 5 miles away and has areas of old growth forest
just waiting to be explored.
South Whidbey State Park (10 minutes)
Fort Ebey (20 minutes)
Deception Pass (45 minutes)
2011 Autumn Festival Jewelry classes $110/day ($55 half day) Felting classes $135/day ($70 last day)
Registration is now open for for those wishing to attend individual or multiple classes.
Attendance is on a first-come, first-serve basis upon payment of registration fee. However... please note that in the event individual classes overfill before I am able to remove the PayPal buttons, I will process in the order received, but with first preference to those that register for more than 1 day.
