Women's Studio Workshop Inc

Mar 19th, 2023

An Artists Studio and Residency featuring printmaking, papermaking and ceramics. Fabulous facilities and a staff that excels in the technical and conceptual structures of art making. Specializes in Artist Books, where I had the pleasure of editioning a Fine Arts book with them. I highly recommend considering applying here!

How can i forget Women's Studio Workshop???There's no way I could gush enough praise of this place that would come close to describing how wonderful it is!gosh, where do i start??1) The studios:They transformed an old hardware store from the 1800s into a two story art studio that includes areas for: paper-making, printmaking, letter pressing, bookbinding, ceramics, photography and silk screening.  It's set in the woods and surrounded by nature 1 mile outside the small, Hudson Valley town of Rosendale, NY. 2) The artist opportunities:They offer fellowships, studio rentals, residencies, paid-internships and grants for artists (mainly women, but not exclusively female) to come use their studios and create work.  --- I, myself, was accepted as a studio intern and lived and worked on the premises for 6 months in the fall of 2005.  I learned more in that six months then i did in 4.5 years in art school.3) Classes:For artists who don't have the time to take off 4-6 weeks to work as a fellow or resident The Summer Arts institute offers 3-5 day classes (lunch included) in all of the studios areas: paper-making, printmaking, letter pressing, bookbinding, ceramics, photography and silk screening.4) The women:Ann, Tana and Anita (the founders and owners) are all talented artists, friendly, compassionate and inspiring women.... for everything i missed their website is a wealth of additional detailed information on classes and artist opportunities: wsworkshop.org.... sigh... I have a little piece of my heart set aside for this place.
