Griffin Dyeworks Annual Retreat

Nov 2-5, 2023

Collage of projects and fun from previous retreats!

Join us for two days of dyeing, fiber arts, and creative workshops in the scenic ranch lands outside Victorville, CA. Our retreats are CASUAL and INCLUSIVE to all skill levels and people.  What’s so Great About Griffin Dyeworks’ Retreat?

Where is the Retreat? This year, the retreat will be held at Kemper Campbell Ranch in Victorville, CA.

When is the Retreat? Starting the afternoon of Thursday, Nov 2, the retreat will run until Sunday afternoon, Nov 5. Classes will be held all day Friday and Saturday, and Sunday morning.

Classes may each have a materials fee – but you can choose which classes to take and control your schedule and budget!

We offer a lower “family” food+lodging rates for partners and kids who want to enjoy the Ranch but not take classes with us. Children are not to be left unattended.

Teachers welcome! We invite everyone to teach. Teachers will be reimbursed for class materials expenses. Formally scheduled classes as well as informal classes (“If anyone wants to learn X, I am available!”) are appreciated. Submit a class anytime at http://bit.ly/gdwclassprop.

What else should I know? Proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be required with first payment. Most of the retreat will be held indoors, in shared spaces!
