Our family attended the annual Griffin Dyeworks Dye & Fiber Retreat this year in the beautiful mountains above Castaic, California. This was the 4th year for the whole family, and Mommy and Joey's 5th year attending. Definitely one of the highlights of our year!

You always make this event look like so much fun. I keep thinking about going but always chicken out. I came closer this year but missed the early and cheaper registration. Looks like it was an awesome weekend!

Oh that looks incredibly fun! How wonderful you get to experience that as a family!
The Tan's trip to the Fiber Retreat is always such an exciting weekend! So much to learn, teach and experience, I see why you look forward to it each year.
What an amazing event! I remember seeing photos of this last year too. Such beautiful fiber arts! Could you adopt me for a week next year so I can go too?
Oh my goodness...I wish there was something like that happening closer to where I live...what an awesome retreat that must have been!!! The pictures are beautiful!(thank you for transporting me there via your blog)!
love Maureen
Oh that looks like so much fun - no wonder you back time and time again!
I can't wait to attend this next year - it looks fantastic. I have a question too. I'm planning my homeschooling year now for the 2010 Fall and I am looking for a local handcraft/Waldorf teacher who could guide/teach a group of girls, mostly the moms so we can model it for our children (kinder age). I'm in Los Angeles. Do you have any contacts or advice? Thanks
Looks so superduper fun! So many great things.
It looks and sounds like and amazing time!
