Colorado Bead Retreat Etiquette

  1. Always be kind to others.
  2. Please treat the teaching, marketplace, and venue staff with respect.
  3. Respect the instructor’s intellectual property.  Patterns are not to be shared or sold and are for student’s personal use only.  When in doubt, always ask the instructor beforehand.
  4. Kits are mandatory.  The retreat is a package deal.  Anyone who does not purchase the kit will not be invited to attend future retreats.  Please do not ask to work on a different project in class.  Please do not ask the instructor to make an exception for you, the answer will always be ‘no’.
  5. You will be expected to purchase the kit color you select at pre-ordering.  If you wish to select a different color, you must inform the Organizers at least 3weeks prior to the retreat.  All kit sales are final.
  6. No sales by attendees/students of any kind are permitted without the express permission of the retreat Organizers.  Failure to adhere to this rule will result in loss of attendance privileges.
  7. At the end of class, please have your workstation packed up and exit the classroom within fifteen minutes after class ends.
  8. Please be mindful of the Marketplace hours and be ready to exit by closing time.
  9. Understand that at the end of the retreat the instructors and marketplace staff still have a great deal of work to do. Please don’t linger after class or the marketplace after closing time on Sunday.


The Colorado Bead Retreat organizers reserve the right to decline any individual’s registration at their discretion.  Adherence to these rules of etiquette will greatly influence this discretion.
