The Hambidge Center nurtures creativity through a multidisciplinary residency program, innovative workshops, environmental initiatives, and community programs on its pristine 600-acre creative sanctuary in the North Georgia Mountains.

WORKSHOPS

At Hambidge we offer two kinds of workshops: free, one-day community workshops on the third Saturday of each month and our immersive weekend-long workshop retreats that serve as a creative intensive complete with crafted meals, outdoor excursions, and cozy, over.-night accommodations. These workshops are offered in a wide range of disciplines. No matter which topic you choose, you can look forward to an inspiring and restorative experience.
