FALL BEAD CAMP – October 18-20, 2019

Posted on September 4th, 2019 in Bead Camp by Amanda Paffrath |

Bead Camp is an amazing weekend retreat housed within the former Racine college, circa 1867, just 30 miles south of Milwaukee and 70 miles north of Chicago. With beautiful views on the shore of Lake Michigan, our retreat center is filled with antiques, history and charm… this all inclusive weekend is 48+ hours of creative fun you won’t want to miss.

We have a lovely, light filled bead room, meals and lodging all under the same roof… bring new projects, old projects, and shop in our pop up boutique in the library, including a trunk show of beads from our friends at Cherry Tree Beads. Don’t miss our massage therapist for a little hand and shoulder TLC!

This is our 21st retreat and we know how to host a fabulous creative weekend! Fun people from seven states have made the pilgrimage to a Funky Bead Camp and many locals do too! It’s a getaway no matter how near or far!

We laugh a lot, cheer each other on and end the weekend with new friends and memories.

Posted on September 28th, 2018 in Bead Camp by Amanda Paffrath |

Bead Camp is an amazing weekend retreat housed within the former Racine college, circa 1867, just minutes from our shop on the shore of Lake Michigan. Filled with antiques, history and charm…this all inclusive weekend is 48+ hours of creative fun you won’t want to miss.

We have everything we need under one roof — we bead together in a large, well lit space….staff rings a bell when our meals our ready in our dining room, although our snack table is so full we joke that we have to eat before we eat. Our simple, yet cozy, rooms are located on the second & third floors, accessible by elevator. While bathrooms are shared…there are plenty. It’s fun….like bead college ….in a really neat antique filled historic space. Some people take every class offered, some don’t take any and use the time to tackle projects they’ve been sitting on or new designs they’ve been dying to try. We laugh a lot, cheer each other on and end the weekend with new friends and memories.

Guest Artist Adele Kimpell of Bead Dreamers is back! Adele and Alan join us again by popular demand to teach two classes and show case a trunk show of Adele’s designs and kits for sale during the weekend retreat!

Other exciting options include a glass pumpkin workshop at Hot Shop Glass, and Paper Beads with Funky Amanda.

Don’t miss it, or you’ll be sad! Don’t be sad!
