Maker's bio

The Great Craft Retreats were created to give people the opportunity to jump into crafts head on, trying multiple mediums across a weekend. Once the idea formed we realised quiet how special it was. From the Creator of Bill's Workshop, a small but highly respected blacksmithing experience provider, come The Great Craft Retreat & The Great Art Retreat. A brand new unique craft experience to give people a one of a kind weekend to learn multiple craft & art forms over a weekend of good food, beautiful scenery and simply awesome people!
