WSW said farewell to Rita MacDonald @ritamacdonald WSW said farewell to Rita MacDonald @ritamacdonald last week as she completed her Ora Schneider Regional Residency Grant! MacDonald spent her time in our studios focusing on a series of woodblock prints.

MacDonald is a visual artist who makes prints, detailed pencil drawings on paper and large site-responsive wall works from paint and plaster. Her work focuses on exploring the experience of place through its relationship to perception and visual association. She’s specifically interested in using geometric patterns, and especially striped fabrics, for their ability to create a tension between the images being seen as flat minimalist abstractions and being seen as recognizable snippets of everyday domestic life – like fabric or wallpaper.
Carve away time for art making at WSW’s rural camp Carve away time for art making at WSW’s rural campus in the beautiful Hudson Valley during this year’s Summer Art Institute! This summer, Yetunde Rodriguez @yaytoonday will be joining us for two weeks instructing gel plate printing and reduction printing workshops. While her gel plate workshop is at capacity, there are still limited spots available in “Single Block Magic: Reduction Printing by Hand,” which will take place July 20 - 24. Sign up today and secure your next summer adventure🏡🌷🌞

This week-long intensive workshop will guide you into taking your craft to the next level and create multi-color block prints! This is the opportunity for a deep dive into the complex relief printing techniques of the reduction print. With a single block of material, you will design, carve, and print a vibrant, multi-layered work of art. This method involves carving the block in stages, resulting in rich, layered compositions that can’t be achieved any other way. All skill levels are welcome!

Have you ever wondered “what is Chili Bowl Decorat Have you ever wondered “what is Chili Bowl Decorating at WSW?” If so, the answer is that it’s a time when volunteers in our community come together to help make and decorate bowls that will be sold at WSW’s annual Chili Bowl Fest fundraiser held every April!

Chili Bowl is one of WSW’s most beloved community events and largest fundraisers, raising vital funds each year in support of artist residencies, workshops, and year-round programming. Guests purchase handmade bowls created by local artists and volunteers, then fill them with chili to enjoy together: a tradition rooted in community and craft.

This weekly volunteer ceramics group meets on Wednesdays throughout the year to create the approximately 900 bowls needed for the event. The project brings together artists, makers, and neighbors in a shared studio environment to contribute to something both functional and meaningful. There are typically two sessions available each Wednesday: 3–5:30 PM and 6–7:30 PM. Everyone is also invited to join a potluck dinner from 5:30–6 PM and bring a dish to share.

Prior ceramics experience is not required to participate, though some artistic experience is helpful. This is not a formal class, but support is available for artists from other disciplines who are interested in translating drawing, painting, or sculptural approaches into clay. Volunteers are welcome to decorate, hand-build, or throw bowls, and can join at any stage of the process, working independently or collaboratively. 

RSVP is required. Participants must sign up by noon on Wednesday, and space is limited. RSVPs will open monthly via WSW’s Eventbrite page. Link in bio to sign up.
