A Creative Escape in the Yarra Ranges
We're thrilled to be returning to the beautiful bushland of Yellingbo for another long weekend of crafting, connection and complete relaxation. Hosted by Alison from Craftery With Alison together with Julie from Handmade Haven, this retreat is designed to give you uninterrupted time to create, recharge and enjoy the company of like-minded makers.
Set at Lyrebird Park Camp & Conference Centre, the retreat offers cosy accommodation, delicious meals, and a warm, welcoming craft space where you can settle in and work on all your favourite projects alongside around 30 other crafters. Whether you scrapbook, make cards, quilt, crochet, knit, journal or explore mixed media, you'll have the time and space to immerse yourself fully.
