Make Something Together.
Connect for Real.

A 2.5-Hour Creative Retreat for Your Organization's Team

Dear Garment House  ·  1217 Grandview Ave, Grandview Heights, OH
All materials included
Handmade Mixed Media Cards made by real hands. Every one different. Every one yours to keep and give.

Your team is tired. Things feel very stressful right now. You don't want to lose them.

You can change things around for them in 2.5 hours.

They're good at their jobs. They show up. They deliver. But somewhere between the back-to-back meetings and the endless calendar invites, they stopped actually seeing each other.

Our Corporate Creative Retreat is a hands-on card-making experience for teams who want to do something that matters — connect, create, and make something beautiful with their hands. No screens. No presentations. No ice-breaker trivia. Just your people in a house full of sewing machines and tables to create. All sorts of materials. 2.5 hours to make something meaningful together.

Each participant leaves with a set of one-of-a-kind handmade cards — layered, textured, wholly personal — built from a rich mix of collage, drawing, stamping, sewing, and coloring. Every technique, every material, every supply is provided. You bring the people. We handle everything else.

No competition. No grading. No "best one wins." Just the quiet, satisfying work of making something beautiful with your hands, side by side with the people who drive your organization to grow. That's when the real conversations happen. That's when teams actually become teams.

What your team will experience
  • A fully guided creative session led by our instructor — 2.5 full hours
  • Mixed-media card-making: collage, drawing, stamping, sewing, and coloring
  • All materials included — papers, stamps, donated fabric scraps, trimmings, ephemera, and more
  • Sustainable, intentional making: materials are thrifted, donated, and recycled — every scrap has been given a second chance
  • A finished set of handmade cards to take home — real, personal, made entirely by hand
  • Space to slow down, connect, laugh, and actually listen to each other's stories
This is not a craft kit. This is a full sensory experience designed around the one thing your team actually needs — to feel closer to each other.
Made with intention. And with the people and the planet in mind.

Sustainability isn't a section on our website — it's how we work. The papers your team collages, the fabric scraps they sew, the ephemera they layer — all thrifted, donated, or rescued from the waste stream. What your team makes with their hands, they'll give with meaning. Making something by hand is, in itself, a quiet act of resistance against a world that throws everything away.

Want to make it yours?

We can customize the retreat around your organization's values, a seasonal theme, a company milestone, or a cause you care about. Tell us what you're celebrating — or what your team needs more of right now — and we'll build the experience around that.
