Retreat Summer 2022

 

For the Summer 2022 Crazy for Ewe Retreat, Rowan's hottest young designer, Georgia Farrell  will be joining us via zoom from her studio in England.  Georgia's special magic is in how she is able to find inspiration and transform images, color, and feeling into a mood board and ultimately into a design for a finished project - whether that's a sweater, an accessory, a wrap, or blanket.  She'll talk through that process and show you the keys to doing the same so you can find your own inspirations and bring them to life. 

After Georgia's presentation, we'll do some exercises that will help you find inspiration and then we'll work through how to do what Georgia does and transform that inspiration into a mood board, sketch some ideas, choose colors, and more.  The sky's the limit.  

You'll have a chance not only to hear Georgia speak, but ask her questions and interact with her directly.  She's a real sweetheart, and I think you'll love meeting her.  

Whether you decide to take this process all the way and design a piece of knitwear, or just create a mood board for another part of your life, I think you'll enjoy the process and come a way with an understanding of your own kind of creativity and 

There will be some beautiful trunk shows in house, as always and lots more fun surprises, as always.  

It's going to be super special and exciting weekend of inspiration, creativity, and community.
