2008 Summer Arts Institute

Welcome to Women's Studio Workshop's Summer Arts Institute 2008 catalog. Our workshops offer a truly hands-on experience whether at our studios in Rosendale, two hours north of New York City, or at our Italian workshop site in Tuscany, you can join us for a summer of creative learning.

Women's Studio Workshop features fully equipped intimate studio workspaces in printmaking, hand papermaking, book arts, photography and ceramics. During the summer WSW adapts the intimate workspace to present a series of small and intensive workshops. Each workshop is designed to enhance your studio practice through immersion in new materials, techniques and processes . Each workshop enrolls less than eight people, giving you an experience that is less like a class and more like a forum for sharing ideas among peers.

All classes begin on Monday. Instruction begins at 10 am. We take a break for a catered lunch at 12:30 and return to the studio until 4pm. Every Tuesday evening the week's faculty present a slide talk about their work. Students are welcome to work before and after official class hours. Classes end Friday after the noon meal

While you’re online, please check out our other programs. We offer classes and workshops throughout the entire year, not just during the summer. You can enjoy the Fall, Winter or Spring beauty of the Catskill Mountains while taking a workshop or class at WSW.

For many artists considering a project at Women’s Studio Workshop, a workshop can provide both an excellent introduction to our facilities and an exciting inspiration or a headstart into your project! All workshops are limited in enrollment, so early registration is recommended. Once you have registered you will be sent a confirmation packet including a receipt of payment, a materials list and a list of housing suggestions.

Unfortunately, we do not provide on-site housing for class participants. However there are plenty of options in the surrounding area. There are many beautiful and comfortable Bed & Breakfasts, sites for camping, motels and hotels, as well as rooms in private homes. All will give you a chance to explore and view the surrounding natural beauty of the Catskill Mountains.

Coming to class without a car? Please call or email us for details and to make arrangements.
