Frequently Asked Questions Directions to Medomak Contact Us Links Green Statement	AUGUST 1-7, 2010 Come join us for a week of fiber-filled fun in beautiful mid-coast Maine. This is your chance to get away and focus on all of those wonderful projects you just haven't had the time to tackle. Whether you knit, crochet, spin, felt, dye, or weave, or if you've always wanted to learn how, this is the place for you! Enjoy the company of fellow fiber enthusiasts while you spin by the fireplace or knit in rocking chairs on the porch of our lodge. Bring along a small project for a pontoon cruise around the pine-edged lake. If you're looking to start a new project or purchase some Maine fiber products, you're in luck. Local vendors and artists will set up shop and sell their wares in our lodge. We are happy to provide space for participants to sell their own products to the group as well. INSTRUCTORS & GUEST ARTISTS Under the patient guidance of lead instructor Bill Huntington, owner of wind-powered Hope Spinnery, you will be able to brush up on new techniques and personal points of interest. Demetrio Bautista Lazo, a renowned dyer and weaver from Oaxaca, Mexico will be leading sessions in natural dyeing using indigo, chamomile, and cochineal. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to visit Nanny Kennedy's farm for an "on the hoof" experience--a chance to see where all fiber arts begin...on the animal! Another highlight of the week includes a chance to meet Katharine Cobey, world renowned fiber artist, at her studio in Cushing, Maine. Listen as she describes her experiences and shares techniques she uses to create her one of a kind pieces. FACILITIES Hosted at our Retreat Center, Medomak's guests enjoy beautiful pine and oak woods, a sparkling clear lake just down the hill, fields of ripe blueberries, and simple, rustic, yet comfortable cabins complete with full bath. The learning spaces vary from rooms in our historic lodge, to an outdoor amphitheater; from rocking chairs on our porch to seating around an outdoor campfire. Meals that will be dreamt about for months are served family-style in our dining hall or outside at picnic tables on the front lawn. Our aim is to make you feel at home.

Naomi, a participant from our 2006 retreat blogged about her experience at A Little Red Hen The whole staff was exceptional. Bill Huntington has been an extraordinary leader--so respectful of all the different styles of people that came to the workshop. He is very clear and patient. I"ve been wanting to do a knitting retreat for six years when I first fell in love with knitting. Thank you for such a wonderful week. Susan H., Los Gatos, CA 2009 More feedback
