Workshops by Media
No two Arrowmont workshops or workshop seasons are alike. We work with instructors to create a robust offering, in a wide variety of mediums, that reflect the diversity of interests and skill levels of our student body. Our focus on creative exploration and out-of-the-box learning is just one of the many reasons the Arrowmont experience is unlike any other.
One-Week Workshops
Retreat, commune and create at Arrowmont with a one-week workshop. Designed to give students the perfect blend of in-depth instruction and laidback studio time.
Weekend-Workshops
Spend a long weekend at Arrowmont immersing yourself in a new arts & crafts technique or fine-tuning skills you’ve developed in your personal practice.
Community Workshops (Ages 5+)
Spark your creativity and try a new craft technique with a one-day or evening workshop, designed for the student on the go. Kids classes offered seasonally.
All of the staff at Arrowmont are phenomenal! I know it takes a lot of people and creative energy for programs like this to exist. The camaraderie that developed within our class over just a few days will fuel my soul for years.
A weekend or weeklong class at Arrowmont is truly a life-changing experience. I wanted to attend one for about 10 years before I finally did, and I was not disappointed! Being at Arrowmont allowed me to turn off the outside world and get lost in the creative process.
This was one of the best experiences I have had in my life and I cannot express how grateful I am to everybody at Arrowmont and the beautiful instructors. The community I felt these past two weeks has been so welcoming, inclusive and wonderful.
Love leads here…from the spectacular workshop offerings, to the inclusion of the many different people from all corners of our world, to the amazing food, to the housekeeping, and to maintenance staff who keep this beautiful facility working so well.
Art doesn’t stop outside the studio door – Our campus galleries, installations (including murals), and downtown Knoxville gallery showcase a breadth of work from Arrowmont’s community of artists, makers and craftspeople. All our galleries are FREE and open to the public.

Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts offers more than just art classes; it’s a complete immersive arts experience. Described as magical, life-changing, inspiring, and invigorating, our historic campus in the heart of Gatlinburg, Tennessee provides a wealth of resources that enrich your stay and contribute to a uniquely transformative experience at Arrowmont.
The Perfect Retreat
Tucked into a 13-acre, wooded hillside, the Arrowmont campus is a beautiful retreat sure to inspire your artistic growth.

It’s the best of both worlds, with shopping, entertainment and unforgettable scenery all around you.
