Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between an in-person workshop and a retreat?

A workshop is creative class offered by Creatively Misty. These single-day shindigs last anywhere from two to five hours, and they're all about diving into a specific technique or crafting something fabulous in a laid-back atmosphere. Now, if you're looking for a longer adventure, check out a retreat! These creative adventures last three to five days and are packed with exciting pre-determined workshops and activities with plenty of “free creative time.” Participants are free to bring their own projects and supplies to play with during their “free creative time”.

Where are in-person workshops and retreats held?

Creatively Misty is based in western Oregon and all workshops are held in the local area- Springfield, Walterville, Leaburg, Vida and Blue River. While most retreats are offered in Oregon as well, I sometimes sneak over to Washington or California for a little adventure!
