How to get there
Diamonds in the Rough
New York’s Only Diamond Art Retreat
Friday–Sunday • June 5–7, 2026
The Creative Jam • 6 State Route 149, Lake George, NY 12845
Join us for Diamonds in the Rough, a sparkling weekend retreat dedicated entirely to the relaxing joy of diamond painting.
For three days, the Creative Jam will transform into a haven for diamond art lovers. Bring your current project—or several—and settle into a weekend of creativity, conversation, and uninterrupted crafting with others who share your love of placing those tiny, glittering drills one by one.
Each participant will have their own 6-foot table and power access, giving you plenty of room to spread out your canvases, tools, trays, and works in progress. Our bright studio is filled with natural light from 42 large windows, complemented by 5000K daylight lighting throughout the space, creating the perfect environment for detailed work.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll enjoy 25 hours of dedicated diamond painting time, along with plenty of opportunities to relax, chat, and connect with fellow crafters. Complimentary coffee, tea, and hot cocoa will be available all weekend, and we’ll gather together for catered lunch on Saturday and Sunday and a catered dinner on Saturday evening.
Friday evening is intentionally left open so guests can take advantage of the beautiful Lake George area, explore the town, and enjoy one of the many local restaurants before returning to the studio for an evening of crafting.
We’re also thrilled to have the support of our sponsors:
Mystical Diamonds Limited
Mirthful Diamond Art
Bandit Stickers
They’ll be adding extra sparkle to the weekend with prizes, giveaways, and surprises throughout the retreat.
Whether you're a longtime diamond painter or relatively new to the craft, Diamonds in the Rough is designed to be a relaxed, welcoming weekend where creativity and community shine just as brightly as the drills on your canvas.
Come spend the weekend placing diamonds, making friends, and enjoying the creative energy of the Creative Jam.
