ALUMNI & FRIENDS RETREAT TO HAYSTACK
September 26 - September 30, 2023

THE 2023 ALUMNI & FRIENDS RETREAT TO HAYSTACK IS NOW SOLD OUT! 

Many thanks to those who registered to attend!

We are once again venturing forth this fall for our 18th 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.

WORKSHOPS:

- Bee Hotels and Sustainable Art (with Arielle Gordon Wilson '21)

- Bookbinding Basics (with Peter Madden '91)

- Monoprinting from a Gelatin Plate (with Janet Kawada '92)

- Postcards From Haystack: Architecture and Landscape (with Judith Swain '79)

- Twisted Wire Workshop (with William Vanaria '12) 

- Working in the Environment (with Janna Longacre)

ACCOMMODATIONS:

Room and meals are included in the registration fee...and the food is AMAZING!! In the Haystack tradition, rooms are assigned based on age and physical need. Please note that cabins are not heated and may involve climbing several steps depending on their location (both the Twin Cabin near Central Washrooms and Dorm options will involve climbing lots of steps)!

PRICING FOR 2023:

(Please note that registration costs for the 2023 Alumni & Friends Retreat to Haystack have increased from the previous year due to the inflation-based increase of the facility rental costs at Haystack)
