One Day Workshop- typically $45 an hour
Along with our ‘House Artists’, we’re bringing in ‘Guest Artists’ to teach their specialties and share their expertise with you. Most of our One Day Workshops are designed to be 4 hours or more and will include materials and instruction. A full description for each workshop will be listed on the workshop calendar, complete with the instructor, cost, and workshop outline.
All Day Workshops include onsite snacks and drinks. And we have a guest house if you want to stay over- but check for availability prior to arriving. Pay is due on registration.
Join a Workshop Retreat- about $400 a day
We will schedule workshops once we have at least 5 people interested in the same topic. Workshop details and schedule will be sent via email once they are confirmed. The workshops are designed to provide an immersive learning experience suited to your needs. After formal instruction ends for the day, you can choose to continue working as long as you please, relax with other artists, or play with the dogs.
The cost includes instruction, accommodations, a DYI breakfast & coffee bar, a group evening meal, and snack options. All necessary materials and tools will be provided, unless otherwise stated in the workshop application.
Design a Personal Retreat– starting at $250 a day
This is a perfect option for those of you that have experience and don’t need any instruction. If you are looking for a quiet place to focus, that has a studio setup with all of the tools that you need, this is the option for you. You would have access to the workspace 24/7 allowing your your creativity to flow freely. Do you want to come for the weekend and spend the entire time in the studio? No problem… You don’t have to use the bedroom! But you might want to shower if you join us for a meal out!
The cost includes accommodations, a DYI breakfast & coffee bar, the guest house is stocked with snacks but you are on your own for proper meals.
Group Retreat or Project- Minimum of 5 people
Are you looking to organize a group retreat or project for a minimum of 5 people? Whether it’s a group of friends, an organization, or any other group, and you want to collaborate on a project together, I can assist you. You might be interested in creating something for a fundraiser, learning a new craft with friends & family, or just having a creative group getaway. You have the option to work on your own in one of my studios, or we can help you create a customized Group Retreat that meets your specific requirements.
The cost includes accommodations, a DYI breakfast bar, a group evening meal, and snack options. All necessary materials and tools will be provided, unless otherwise stated in the application.
We will customize your retreat to include everything that will make it a perfect gathering. The prices vary and will depend on the specific inclusions you choose. On average, the price is $300 per person for minimal guidance to get your project started and minimal instruction, or $400 per person with a formal workshop and instruction. Or less if you are just looking for a place to gather for a group project.
Work & Play- Limited Availability– Work/Play/Application
This offer is intended for those who are interested in staying for a week or two, or even the entire summer, and using our studios. If you’re looking to “work off” your retreat, there are always tasks to be done here at the CoC, such as painting a wall or installing a new toilet. In exchange for 10 hours of labor per week of stay, you’ll have the rest of the time to yourself. I typically select only one intern or resident per year. To apply, you’ll need to fill out an application, which I’ll review and let you know if you are accepted. We provide a place to stay and occasionally dinner, but otherwise, you’re responsible for your own meals and food. For more information, check out the ‘Application‘
