WSW maintains intaglio, screen print, letterpress, papermaking, ceramics, and photography studios in an historic building, located in the foothills of the Shawangunk Mountains in the Hudson River Valley of NY. The studios are extensively equipped and well-maintained. Artists can take workshops, rent the studios, schedule private classes, or apply for grant or fellowship opportunities. You are welcome to visit the studios before arranging work-time or signing up for workshops, please call ahead.

Rates include basic materials. Inks and paper for editioning, pulp, photo paper, clay, and firing fees are the responsibility of the artist.

Renters have access on an hourly basis to the ceramic studio (whenever classes are not in session), and the full use of the equipment and glazes.
