There is something about gathering in a special place, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and being surrounded by fellow bag makers, that makes for a wonderful experience. It’s a golden opportunity to tackle those projects you may have once considered out of reach all while sharing thoughts and ideas while you learn from the pros.
This is what happens at the West Coast Bag Makers Retreats. Oh, and the bonus- making new friends for life.
We started this in 2019 in San Luis Obispo, Calif. and due to the huge response, there were plans in the works for another one in 2020. But we all know what happened. So…until we can safely gather again, without the fears and worries of hugging a friend, leaning over to whisper a joke, or just sharing space, these in-person retreats are on hold. Not gone…..just waiting for a better time.
Check back on occasion to see when new information is posted. And as always, we will also make sure to post about this in the Facebook group.

Returning Soon
Currently we are not offering in-person retreats due to the complications surrounding COVID. But not to worry - we've got our thinking caps on to help us still make it happen!
