Experience the Wonder of Creative Arts at Arrowmont

Arrowmont offers workshops in 2D Arts, Ceramics, Metals & Glass, Jewelry, Sculpture, Textiles & Paper, and Woodworking. These immersive workshops provide students of all skill levels the opportunity to work alongside talented instructors in our professionally equipped studios.

Metal Studio Overview

With views that overlook our wooded hillside, the Metal Studio is located on the second floor of the Turner Building. The studio features a central aisle of dedicated workbenches, with a bank of windows on one side and vented multi-use tables for casting, soldering, and finishing on the other. This vaulted studio is a jeweler’s favorite. Ideal for smaller metal work of all kinds, the long narrow space includes hammer and machine rooms, outdoor covered porch for larger fabrication, and a shared kiln room with the Sculptural Studio.

Testimonials

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.

– Charity

A 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.

– Becky

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.

– Matthew

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.
