Textile Evolution is a unique retreat experience for everyone who loves fiber, stitch, quilting and mixed media art. We offer incredible classes from talented nationally known teachers who are passionate about helping you expand your skills, ignite your imagination, explore the creative process and nurture the artist soul.

Just as importantly, our retreats are about fun and friendships formed in a community that encourages art from the heart.

The beautiful Franciscan Retreat center in Colorado Springs, Colorado will be your home for the retreat. The gorgeous grounds, visiting deer and comfortable rooms will help you relax, rejuvenate and explore your creative spirit. Textile Evolution is a holistic art experience of body, mind and spirit.

Whether you are a traditional quilter who wants to dip into the art quilt pool, a fiber artist looking to expand your skills or a mixed media artist who wants to play with fabric you will want to join us for this unforgettable journey of discovery.
