Celebrating the west coast of B.C., the lush landscape of The Brew Creek Centre is the perfect setting to inspire creativity, spark interest in new skills and passions, as well encourage conversation and relaxation.
The weekend will offer a colourful, inviting setting with “open-studio” style learning. Focus will be on knitting, weaving, spinning and dyeing, and retreat guests will have the opportunity to experience hands-on making with an inspirational supply of tools and equipment to work with.

Along with excellent facilitator guides, plus video learning in advance via the School of SweetGeorgia, we hope you’ll leave the weekend armed with additional confidence in each technique. Included will also be plenty of independent time to unplug and unwind; wandering the forest hiking trails or enjoying knitting stories around the fireplace with fellow makers.
Registration will be closed after September 15th![/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”SIGN UP TODAY” color=”juicy-pink” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fsweetgeorgiayarns.com%2Fshop%2Fescape-with-sweetgeorgia-to-brew-creek%2F|title:Join%20the%20SweetGeorgia%20Retreat|target:%20_blank|” css=”.vc_custom_1557899902611{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”rgba(10,10,10,0.12)” css=”.vc_custom_1499600318751{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1557900413230{margin-bottom: 4vh !important;}” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″ woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1499600064550{padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1499599961071{margin-bottom: 20px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][woodmart_title size=”large” color=”primary” align=”left” tag=”h3″ woodmart_css_id=”5cdbaa46b16c2″ title=”weekend schedule” title_width=”100″ subtitle=”PRELIMINARY PROGRAM“][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1557900222302{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}” text_larger=”no”]

Tabetha Hedrick is a knitwear designer and writer raising a family just outside the Great Smoky Mountains in Eastern Tennessee. As the Design Director for SweetGeorgia Yarns her days (and heart) are filled to the brim with knitting, art, writing, editing, planning, and finding ways to put it all together.

She learned to knit and crochet as a child, but her passion was truly ignited when she learned to spin in 2014. She loves the thought that every individual who looks at a braid of fibre or runs their fingers over a skein of yarn will create their own unique functional piece of art. Something to be enjoyed for years to come.
