REGISTRATION on NOW!!

NOTE: By registering for our Into the heART Art Retreat online, you aknowledge that you have read and agree to the following:

Cancellation Policy:There will be no refunds. You may transfer your registration to another adult, as long as you notify me of their full name & contact details (just as you have provided yours above).

In the case of an Act of God, war, disaster or unforeseen circumstances, Creative Finds reserves the right to reschedule, cancel and/or relocate Into the heART.

About 'Into the heART': We have 8 years of organizing Artisan Markets under our belts and have had a dream of creating an Art Retreat for a few years now. I (Nicci) completed Event Planning courses in 2012 & 2013 and now welcome you to the 'Into the heART' Art Retreat for Spring of 2014.

When I refer to 'we' I mean my loyal family. I am lucky enough to have great support in all my events from my Mom (Lorraine), my Husband (Marco) & our son (Duran). At each event we welcome you to become a part of our extended creative family... (lol). FYI: We will have a Photographer taking fun promo shots on location.

We are planning this 4 day/3 night adventure for you, full of creativity, friends (new & old), evening events (Artist Market, Show & Tell, and Art/Journal Jams), with nourishment for the mind & soul. The workshops are 6 hours long with a 90 minute break in the middle for lunch.

Workshops~ We have selected talented Artists and chosen workshops for you by trying to offer a wide variety of styles and mediums for you to chose from. Please visit our website for workshop details (www.creativefinds.ca ).

Artist Market~ Tables will be made available to both Instructors & Students alike for a fee. This is a great way to promote your work and put a bit of cash back in your pockets. Tables are for your handmade products only. Please make sure you reserve your table as soon as possible, as space is limited and will be given to the first requests that come with their $100 payment (please send this in with your registration). Make sure you bring some pocket money to purchase something from one of the many talented Artists! This market will be open to the public.

Show & Tell ~ This is where you can show off your creations from the classes you attended and see what the others have made as well. There is always a great variety of the same pieces made within a classroom. It is wonderful to see the individuality!
