2013
marks Lynne Vogel’s 5th Annual Hands on Color at the DuboseConference Center in Monteagle, TN. Come celebrate with us! Last year we came
together for a retreat rather than a workshop and it was a great success, so we
are going to repeat the retreat style again this year. Bring whatever you would
like to spin and take advantage of Lynne’s expert guidance throughout the
weekend. You may want to work on a project or simply join us for a weekend of
spinning and relaxation.
The
retreat starts on Friday evening with a catered light meal from Ivy Wild. Our
fiber market will open Friday and run through Sunday afternoon. We will meet
formally from 9:00 to 4:00 on Saturday and Sunday, but the Upper Room will
remain accessible 24/7. Work
at your own pace throughout the weekend, taking advantage of the quiet walks
and good food Dubose offers. Where else would you find such a wonderful mix of
fiber, friends and hours of project time just for you? Lynne will be available
for one on one instruction/support. If there is something special you would
like a mini-class on, please include that with your registration.
For
those of you who haven’t come to Dubose before, it is situated in Monteagle, TN
on the Cumberland Plateau roughly midway between Nashville and Chattanooga.
There are many beautiful natural hiking trails in the area, including South
Cumberland State Park and the University of the South Domain and Perimeter
Trail. We have a wonderfully large workroom, the Upper Room, to play in. There
is room to spread out, so feel free to bring what you need. Know that the workroom
is up a flight of stairs; so just don’t bring what you don’t want to haul up
there. Those of you, who have a hard time carrying your wheel upstairs, know
that we will help you.
The
Dubose offers modest but comfortable, clean and reasonable lodgings, meals, and
plenty of space to meet and work. We’ll be staying in Bishops Hall, a motel
style building. Rooms are either single or double occupancy, double beds with
private bath. Local workshop participants may chose to forgo lodging and just
join us for retreat and meals.
Our
classroom is on the second floor. The classroom is huge and well lit and we’ll
be able to easily accommodate up to 30 people and their wheels. There is no
elevator but there will be plenty of help to get your wheel up to the classroom
Friday afternoon and back down at the end of the retreat. Motel rooms are on
first and second floor walk-up levels. We’re sorry everything isn’t ground
floor as this workshop is not handicap accessible, so apologies in that regard.
Workshop
participants should plan on arriving Friday evening, June 7. We’ll have a
lovely, casual, cold buffet, open market and a casual spin-in on Friday night
beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Breakfast
Saturday is at 8:00 AM. The retreat starts at 9 AM Saturday and Sunday mornings
and goes till 4 PM with an hour break for lunch. Please let us know if you have
any dietary restrictions, as the kitchen is happy to accommodate.
