With all of life’s ups and downs, it’s very important to take the time to nurture ourselves and pursue our passions, and nothing could fulfil that more than a craft retreat.

The Needlework Tours Craft Retreat is suitable for for crafters of all stripes, from the accomplished and intermediate to beginners who wish to try their hand at needlework, felting, hand appliqué, knitting, beading, and sashiko stitching.
