Several times a year, Ricky Tims offers a five-day, independent study retreats to small groups of ten students at the Tims Art Quilt Retreat Center in La Veta, CO. The retreat is designed to cultivate self-expression through the medium of quilt-making. Introspective morning talks and journaling and creative assignments are the foundations on which students pursue outward creative expression. The independent study format enables Ricky to guide each person toward their own personal goals for the week. Quilters of all experience levels are welcome to attend.

Because we are doing so many more retreats, we are able to do away with our lottery system. If you are interested in coming, check the Student List to see if there are openings. Each time we schedule new retreats we send an email to everyone on the Retreat Notification List. You must register here to be on the Retreat Notification List. Be sure to select "retreat" in the newsletter choice. If you also would like to be on our general list, or, if you are a merchant, our shop newsletter - you will need to subscribe to those separately.

Quilt guilds can nominate an emerging quilter to be the recipient of a tuition-free retreat, plus $500 toward expenses. Click here to learn more.
