Craftcation 2026

Move your body with the waves! One of the best ways to tap into your creativity is to release stress and tension from the body. Why not do it at the beach?! We will meet in the lobby and then walk down the street north of the hotel to the beach. Bring a towel or mat.

Experience the meditative practice of nature journaling, where observation meets creativity. Using watercolor as the primary medium, this workshop welcomes participants of all skill levels to explore the natural world through art.

Allow the setting sun and the ocean waves to take your worries away. We will meet in the lobby and walk down the street north of the hotel to the beach. We will start with a seated meditation that will help you integrate all the positive experiences you had that day at Craftcation. Then you will take a mindful walk as the sun sets to help release stress. The guided meditation will be about 15 minutes and the length of your walk is up to you.

Are you a magpie, a witch, or someone who likes wandering on the beach? We’ll first learn a little about these stones, then walk down to the beach after high tide, just 2 blocks from our hotel. Faye will show you the best times and places to find seaglass, hag stones and other precious, pretty and just weird rocks. We’ll then gather and identify as many of the stones as we can as time allows. Some of the stones we found last year, including jasper and serpentine, are perfect for wire wrapped jewelry!



Bring a little pouch or empty pockets for your treasures! We will be close to the edge of the water, so waterproof shoes or barefoot is necessary. You must be able to walk on the sand and bend down to look at/pick up what is beneath your feet. We'll go slowly, so don't hesitate to join if you're a slow walker.
