Renewing the spirit. Enriching the mind. Inspiring hands and voices.

In its eleventh year, this conference is a valuable tool for all churches. Participants not only have the opportunity to learn a craft they can enjoy for years to come, they also have the joy of creating beautiful works of art for their parishes, as well as working, sharing and playing with folks of like interests.

Morning classes are led by some of the finest artisans in their fields.

Concentrate on one of eight areas, with each instructor employing a hands-on approach. Kits and supplies are provided by instructors at an additional cost.

Afternoons are free for working on projects, relaxing in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina or attending optional workshops. A massage therapist also will be available to ease those aching shoulders.

Each day begins and ends with a worship service in one of Kanuga's chapels. The opening and closing Eucharists are unforgettable experiences — the blessing of hands before starting the work of the week and then the blessing of the works that have been completed.
