HGC Weaving Retreat November 18-20, 2022

 

We are happy to announce that we will again hold our very popular weaving retreat at Camp Washington in Lakeside CT. It is open to any guild member to spend the weekend at this beautiful place and sit back and weave at your leisure. There are walking trails and amazing food, especially the Sunday morning brunch!

 

Camp Washington has been back in business since last summer. In fact, it was tough finding an open weekend. Please reach out to Mary Roche with any questions. I will need to know if you are interested by June. We need to guarantee 10 people to reserve the weekend.
