HAYSTACK ALUMNI & FRIENDS RETREAT
September 27-October 1, 2022

Wow! We're already sold out! Please add your name to the waitlist and we will be in touch with details soon.

Is this the year you join us for some creative inspiration and connection in Deer Isle, Maine?

We are once again venturing forth this fall for our 17th Annual Alumni & Friends Retreat at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. It’s time to start dreaming about what you might make surrounded by pine trees, ocean waves, and some pretty good company.

NEW THIS YEAR!
The Retreat starts a day earlier than usual, running Tuesday - Saturday.
