Question by Terry: is a craft vacation a good idea?
I am working on a business plan for a craft vacation, but before I take the financial plunge, I would like to see if people think it is a good idea. Could you see yourself or someone you know taking one of these vacation weeks? – it would be in a small historic town, you would stay and learn unusual crafts in a charming old victorian house. Small groups – fostering a sense of friendship and community among participants. I want to aim at people who love to do crafts and would love to get away with like minded folks to immerse themselves in a really comfortable house and do what they enjoy most but don’t get time for. Would it work?!

Answer by Chicago Q
I think it would. Quilt retreats and even cruises seem to do very well. This should, too.

    Sure, if I though the host knew what they were doing, had enough materials on hand, some classes, adequate power for all the tools, and a few other activities like nature walks or shopping.

    It would be even better if there will be a guest appearance by a famous crafter, like Carol Duvall.

    That sounds like a lot of fun. It would have to be a “husband-free” sort of vacation though!!!

    Yeah, I think you have a great plan. I have seen scrapbooking cruises offered in scrapbook magazines. You would have to find the right venues in which to advertise for optimal participation. It would be great to offer a discount for two or more people attending together, as I think most people would like to take their other crafting friends along, and that would be an incentive.
