mini Retreat - Life's an open book- May 29-31, 2026

This annual special event for members only includes a two night/three day stay and a beautiful conference location in the Hocking Hills region of Ohio. Comfortably holding 22 people, it included lots of good food, lots of good times, a hot tub, a bonfire, and a unique surprise event project to make during the weekend. 

This year the project is going to be an "open book" display. Constructed from wood and about the size of a standard hardback book, the cover opens to expose an empty space where the pages should be -- perfect for housing a to-scale scene of any size! The finished project may be displayed either opened or closed so just a much thought is going to need to into the "cover" as will need to go into the interior. A very unique challenge for a very unique group of artists.
