Spouses & Family
Gathering of Artisans is a special weekend. Sometimes couples or families may want to travel together but we encourage this only if everyone is registered for the conference. Otherwise, it can become a burden on the participant instead of a blessing with regards to conference schedule, workshop attendance, meals, evening worship sessions, etc.

Because this event will fill to capacity and there is limited space for attendees, spouses who are attending need to be fully registered as a conference participant if they would like to attend and participate in workshops and evening sessions .  Only registered conference participants may attend workshops and evening sessions, etc.  There is no special rate for spouses or family members.
​
*We do not offer payment plans. All registration fees are due upon registration. Meals & lodging fees are payable directly to Ridgecrest Conference Center and require only a deposit to reserve your room.

Gathering of Artisans conference registrations are non-refundable (No Exceptions).  Conference registrations cannot be transferred to another event, however, they can be sold or transferred to another participant by July 15, 2022.  All conference registrations sold or transferred to another person must be handled through our registration system. There will be a $25 fee to transfer a registration to another participant. ​Please note:  If you purchase a conference registration from another participant, you will not be able to change the workshops selections.  All conference registrations are sold "AS IS."  In the event we are forced to cancel Gathering of Artisans for any reason, your conference registration will be refunded via a check (this does not include any meals, lodging and/or travel arrangement that you made in order to attend the conference).
