The Renegade Retreat
The Renegade Retreat is a Biennial (every other year) in-person gathering of Renegade Bindery and Bookbinding Guild members.
Activities at the event typically include craft workshops and lectures, group crafting time and projects, and fandom discussion.
The location changes each event in an effort to represent our widespread community.
“The workshops were excellent and well conducted by the instructors! Already started using the new skills I have learned or freshened up!”
“So glad to have the chance to join in and meet everyone! The “My Immortal” bind was a great excuse to chat with people I might not have otherwise, and laugh at ourselves, too.”
“I just loved getting to meet everyone and hang out SO MUCH.”
Renegade’s 3rd Retreat will take place April 2027 in Atlanta, GA.
