About Us

Aussie Beading Retreats is a group of friends from all over Australia and overseas who share a passion for beading. The inaugural Aussie Beading Retreat in 2011 was held in the lovely town of Berry, NSW, with a small group of 20. Since then we have held 12 very successful retreats in NSW, QLD, SA, Tasmania and Victoria and now average 40 participants at each retreat. Find out what happens at a retreat.

We have over 1400 members in our Facebook group. This is the best place to find out about upcoming ABR events and our fun, friendly challenges to get the creative juices flowing!

Can we get retreat passes on Medicare? I reckon they should be available on prescription. Just what the doctor ordered!

I really had a wonderful time. Thanks to all that helped set up such a wonderful place for all of us to come together and share our beading. I enjoyed meeting all of you, old and new friends. I needed to take time out to recover as i was running on empty when i got home but the retreat certainly given me a renewed passion for beading.
