Our Signature 6-Week Workshop Program
Rooted in our 55-year tradition of experiential education, our signature 6-week Workshop Program combines hands-on volunteer work with a core curriculum of discussion-based classes, seminars, and field trips and full immersion in the Arcosanti community. Workshop participants live onsite in a shared apartment, with full access to community amenities.
Workshop projects vary by season, the size of the group, and the current needs of the organization. The upcoming winter and spring volunteer workshops may include (but are not limited to) projects relating to erosion control, composting systems, agriculture, and special event operations.
Graduates of this workshop join an international network of more than 8000 official Arcosanti and Cosanti alumni.

1-Day Farm-to-Fork Workshops
Canning. Jamming. Pickling. Foraging. Composting. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make sure food never goes to waste, these workshops are for you. These 1-day intensives are designed to complement Arcosanti’s growing agricultural program by teaching participants to recognize, harvest, and safely preserve the food all around them (even in the desert!), and what to do with anything left over after that.

1-Day Family-Friendly Workshops
In spring of 2022, Arcosanti will be hosting a series of 1-day workshops for kids and parents (or grandparents) to enjoy all that the arcology has to offer, and timed to coincide with spring break season. Activities will include tours, meals, and hands-on opportunities to learn the basics of silt-casting, bell-making, and more.

1-Day Bell-Making Workshops
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the unique silt-cast bell-making process developed by The Cosanti Foundation and used every day by the artisans of Cosanti Originals to make our world-famous ceramic windbells. As a participant, you will have the opportunity to cast and carve your own one-of-a-kind ceramic bell. This process involves using clay and dirt to create your bell, so come prepared to get your hands dirty.
Stay tuned for more details!
