Our "brand new" gathering place will be the Tybee Chapel. Inspired by the look of a 1908 seaside Baptist church and featured in Nicholas Sparks/Disney movie "The Last Song", the first movie ever to be shot and set on Tybee Island, the Tybee Chapel began as an actual prop for the film before our friend Stacye Jarrell relocated and raised the chapel to prevent flooding. This completely rebuilt non-denominational chapel’s timeless architecture and gorgeous setting against Tybee’s rare tidal evergreen forests offers breathtaking scenery and simple southern charm.
Set on a wooded lot on the edge of Tybee’s delicate marsh ecosystems, dolphins jump and migratory birds flock nearby....just seconds from the beach and minutes from romantic historic Savannah, the Tybee Island Chapel is the perfect place to serve as our headquarters/ dining area during the seminars. Immediately on the right as you enter Tybee Island on Highway 80.
Student housing is in shared luxury beach houses located around the island. A rental car is not necessary but not all activities are within walking distance. Shuttle service/car pooling is available. See Accommodations tab above for more details.
Classes are held in the individual Instructor's Villas.
Our Kiln Room is centrally located in the lower floor of Oceanfront Cottage Offices on Hwy 80.
