A few spots remain to join a small group of participants for three days of craft making in a private home overlooking the beautiful Mendocino coast. Master handwork teacher, Alecia Dodge, will guide the group through three different crafts. Outside of crafting time you can enjoy ocean views from the house or walk down to the beaches nearby. We will celebrate the opening of the workshop on Saturday evening with an optional delicious pub dinner at the Old Westport Hotel & Old Abalone Pub, a short walk from the house.
