Does 5080 provide lodging?

In this area, the demand for rooms exceeds the supply during the summer months, therefore we suggest making arrangements early. There are nearby AirBnBs, campgrounds, RV parks, and lodges. Make sure to browse our list of local lodging options.

We can also host complimentary on-site camping, just make sure to bring your own tents and supplies. Please contact us for further info if this option appeals to you.

Are workshops outside?

You may be crafting in the open air, sitting in a meadow, along a creek, looking up at the mountain. You may walk through the woods to gather a branch, rock or bit of moss to incorporate in your work. The workspace will be outfitted with tables, shade, etc. to make make the space comfortable. Workshops not suited to being outside will be based in the art studio.

5080 is not only about expanding craft skills but also about being outside in community with all life. Crafts presented use materials that are close to nature.

You may switch workshops up until a week prior if space and materials are available. You may also gift your workshop spot to a lucky friend. Contact us to work this out.
