Bring your group to Hammerstone for a
custom workshop taught just for you.
Our custom workshops are designed to build skills,
while fostering connections within your group.
How it works:
Choose a project:
Hammerstone has a variety of custom workshops already developed. They cover different skills, have different take-home projects, and last different amounts of time. If you would like a specific project custom-designed for your group event, contact admin@hammerstoneschool.com (additional fees may apply).
Find a date:
Hammerstone has classes scheduled many weekends in the summer. Check the calendar to see if there are any free dates that would suit your group. Then contact admin@hammerstoneschool.com to confirm the availability of a date and to schedule your course.
Reserve your course with a deposit:
All group courses are reserved with a non-refundable 50% deposit. The remainder of the course fee is due three weeks before the course date. Our standard cancellation policies apply (read the “Cancellation and Rescheduling” tab on our FAQ page).
Show up for the fun and learning:
Most classes are taught at Hammerstone’s facilities in Trumansburg, NY. We also teach in a heated barn in winter, and may come to your location for an additional fee.
