Group Art Workshops at Raven's Retreat Hocking Hills
We partner with Raven's Retreat to bring our group art workshops into one of Ohio's most intentional settings - a 58-acre private nature preserve near Laurelville, about an hour from Columbus.
This format is built for groups of 15 to 20. Each guest completes two guided art projects in one day: a collaborative piece the group builds together, and an individual piece they take home. We lead one of those sessions fully. The Raven's Retreat creative team - led by master sculptor Dustin Weatherby - leads the other.
The day also includes a wellness opening designed to help the group settle before creating, and a nourishing shared meal. Everything is co-facilitated, so your group gets two distinct creative voices and real attention throughout the day.
This isn't a studio rental or a generic team-building activity. It's a co-led day retreat at an immersive retreat center, set inside a living art gallery surrounded by nature.
Ready to plan your group art workshop day? Start with a free 15-minute consult call with the Raven's Retreat team - they'll shape the day around your group so you simply show up and create.
