These

always information to be gained, plus the experience of a fun, full weekend of
wonderful people with whom to share your coloring passion! The retreat room will open at 1:00 pm on Nov. 2nd, with the Meet and Greet starting at
4:00 pm. Dinner will be served at 6 pm, followed by Copic Introduction
class, and evening crop open until 11pm. Saturday the 3rd will be
action-packed with technique classes, challenges, games, and breakfast and
lunch included, (dinner will be on your own). The evening optional coloring
crop will be open until 11pm with instructors present. Sunday the
4th, after breakfast, we’ll have another full day of classes and techniques,
prizes and fun. We will break for lunch (provided) and dinner (on your own).
After dinner we will have a class and then start the evening crop, and
farewells until 10pm (with instructors). The evening crops are
optional, but available for whoever would like to color, relax and catch up on
worksheets and get personal assistance. Participation in all classes is
optional, so you can head out, at any time, to enjoy some local attractions. The Artistic Rubber Stamp Event will be happening this same weekend in Mesa on Saturday and Sunday during the retreat times, if you are looking forward to going, and wanted to shop we might work in a break during the day to allow this as a option. Those who stay at retreat will do Copic Bonus classes during this time, (I will include in the Copic application a survey on this matter).
