Beyond our workshop sessions, enjoy days filled with delicious home-cooked meals, relaxing by the pool, and curated excursion to local gems—like an unforgettable cooking class, bustling markets, and beautiful beaches.
Immerse yourself!
Treat yourself to five days of creative exploration, inspiration, and hands-on making at a peaceful working farm. Threads of Nature is a retreat dedicated to the art of mixed media embroidery, where drawing, color, painting, and stitching come together to tell textured, expressive stories grounded in the natural world.
Each day features guided demonstrations and hands-on workshops weaving together foundational techniques and experimental approaches to create richly layered textile artworks. With the fields, flora, and seasonal landscapes of Sanborn Mills Farm as inspiration, this retreat invites you to slow down, connect with your environment, and cultivate your creative voice.

Sarah discovered her passion for embroidery back in 2013. After leaving art school (with a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago), Sarah turned to embroidery as a creative outlet while she worked full-time as a nanny. What started as a hobby quickly transformed into a bit of an obsession and then into a career as Sarah developed her bold embroidery aesthetic full of botanical imagery, strong black outlines, and intense detail.
Fast forward to today, and Sarah K. Benning Arts is a globally recognized brand and continues to create one of a kind embroidered artworks, as well as small batch embroidery kits designed + assembled in house, digital pattern programs, and global workshop opportunities.
Sarah K. Benning Arts is committed to sharing the joy of embroidery through original art and thoughtfully designed do-it-yourself patterns and kits.
