Join friends and fellow fiber artists at the Sauder Heritage Inn for a relaxing and dynamically creative atmosphere.

Whether you crochet, knit, spin, weave, embroider, hook, or do other types of hand work, the Winter Fiber Arts Retreat is a wonderful place to gather with other makers for a weekend of creativity. There is no guided instruction or teachers at this retreat, but there will be lots of friendly helpful crafters in attendance. All skill levels and handwork crafts are welcome.


Our retreats are held at the gorgeous Sauder Heritage Inn, providing a country lodge vibe with natural wood timbers, atrium, hand forged lighting & railings, and unique artwork throughout the building. Additional amenities include an indoor pool with waterfall, hot tub, game room, and exercise room. Snacks, beer, and wine are available for purchase at the Front Desk too!




What to expect…

Fiber enthusiasts like yourself, will gather in the spacious and well-lit Homestead meeting room at the Sauder Heritage Inn, where you can spread out your work, have fun catching up with friends, be encouraged, delighted, and productive.

Many participants take advantage of the comfy lounge style lobby with fireplace or other intimate seating areas at the Inn for a warm and welcoming place to unwind and create! Bring a friend or come solo and make new friends! All fiber artists are welcome.

On Saturday, Heidi Stark with HJ Stark Wellness & Consulting will lead everyone in mindful stretching poses to support mind/body connections with a focus on the hands, neck, shoulders, and arms. Movement is directed from your chair to ease your comfort. Heidi holds a Master’s in Education and is certified RYT 500.
