Discover the Fun of Crafting with NCCR

Join our crafting workshops to learn new techniques and improve your crafting skills. Our instructors are experienced and passionate about sharing their knowledge with you. We offer classes on using Copic markers to create fun and creative cards and projects, featuring different coloring styles and techniques. Our team members may create similar crafts, but with different techniques and perspectives, which is great for providing new ideas or ways to do your favorite crafty techniques.

The comfort of your own crafty space 

****All photos on this site are from the 2024 retreat. Any projects or decorations will not be the same for 2025. Photos for 2024 will be uploaded soon! We like to keep things fresh and exciting!

• Tote
• Event memorabilia crafty apron
• Event memorabilia pandora bracelet charm 
• and more - we don't want to give out surprises

Crafty Stamp Co. is happy to be creating 7 - 4 x 6 and 2 - 3 x 4 exclusive stamp sets for retreat! You will not be able to get them outside of retreat for 1 year later.

We have many great sponsors we know you will LOVE! We have bigger sponsors but we also believe in the little guy so we love to promote our smaller companies too! 

Everything (except images) pre-cut and scored for you. We do a bit of fussy cutting, feel free to bring your scan and cut, or coordinate with friends. 

Supply list is given 1 month prior to retreat date. 

Cutting and Scoring Guide is given in each project class kit for you to either follow along, or make it again later. 

Want the classes but can't attend the live sessions? That is okay! the classes are all pre-recorded. You can watch them later if you fall behind, want to make the project again, or just can't make it that weekend.

With Zoom meetings! They are great! 

• If you do not have this on your device it is something you will need. 
• Easy bitly links to get to every session (found in FB retreat group & your program book
• No waiting rooms - you are admitted immediately
• No muting - Since classes are pre-recorded - teachers will be "pinned" and everyone can craft, ask questions or chat - **We just ask that we are not chatting over the teacher so instructions can still be heard. 
• Live sessions are not recorded

If you don't like to talk on zoom, that is okay!  you will have someone in front of the computer ready to read your comments and ask your questions to the person teaching the class, a virtual personal assistant. We just ask you give her time to type her response or for the instructor to answer your question. 

If you don't like being on camera that is OKAY! You can choose to be in the group photo. While we would love to include you it is not a must. 

You can either:

• Be present at the welcome party to take a zoom group photo (cameras on)

or

• upload a photo of you in the retreat Facebook group and we will add you into the collage before it is sent out.
