Fairbridge Craft Retreat

‘Hook’ into a relaxing escape bursting at the ‘seams’ with a wide ‘patchwork’ of opportunities for ALL craft lovers, no matter your level of experience. From sewing to sketching, bring your own interests and leave with new creative sparks ignited.

Whether you’re a craft connoisseur or wanting to have a distracting dabble in the arts, the Fairbridge Craft Retreat is the perfect getaway for sewers, knitters, handicraftisans, drawers, painters, card-makers & beyond.

Taking place in the idyllic Fairbridge Village in Pinjarra, 11-13 September, this weekend features a mix of instructed workshops, facilitated activities and open time to discover and invigorate your creative flair at your own leisure. Choose your own path of learning, exploration, practising and/or sharing, plus enjoy a ‘yarn’ with like-minded future friends you’ll really ‘glue’ with.

Accommodation, workshops, all meals etc will be included, enabling you to savour a weekend filled with equal parts inspiration and exhalation.

It will also provide the perfect headstart in creating amazing entries for the Canning Show 2020 Exhibition.
