We are one month away from WSW’s 29th Annual Chili We are one month away from WSW’s 29th Annual Chili Bowl Fest Fundraiser! Come on down and support the arts, while you enjoy live music by The Library Band @libraryband, raffle drawings, and the widest selection of handmade pottery in the Hudson Valley! 

Over 500 beautiful bowls hand-crafted by local artists, WSW staff and interns, resident artists, students, and volunteers will be available for purchase. Because so many hands contribute to this process, each vessel is one-of-a-kind, and widely varied in shape, size, color, decoration, and, of course, price-point. All proceeds of the sale support WSW’s artistic programming!

Many Hudson Valley restaurants have generously donated 50 gallons of chili, satisfying meat-lovers, vegans, and vegetarians alike. HOT TIP: Each bowl purchase comes with a free serving of chili!

📅Saturday, April 11th, 2-7PM at Women’s Studio Workshop
722 Binnewater Ln, Kingston, NY
2-4PM: Early admission $10 *Kids get in for free*
4-7PM: Free!

Not local, but don’t want to miss out? We’re also hosting an Online Sale opening at 10AM on April 11th. Be sure to bookmark the page and set your alarms, because these bowls will sell out fast! Link in bio.

Special thanks to Ellie Swanson @starsheepz for the gorgeous illustrations!

Another wonderful Meet & Make! Thank you to everyo Another wonderful Meet & Make! Thank you to everyone who came out to our “Mend with a Friend” night :) It was so much fun seeing everyone’s projects and spending time with you all!

April’s Meet & Make is already at capacity, but you can check out our line up for May and June! Link in bio to learn more.
Let’s take a moment to meet the artists of our app Let’s take a moment to meet the artists of our approaching exhibition, “i had this dream and you were in it,” featuring new work by Women’s Studio Workshop interns Ollantay Avila Alcocer @ollantay.xyz, Carissa Kolcun @carissanicole._k, and Kimberly Jo @blue.nebraska. 

Memory is the basis of Nonprofit Management Intern Carissa Kolcun’s practice. The work they create engages recollection through combinations of symbols, textures, and sounds. In their practice, memory is as necessary as it is unreliable. The dream is a memory that contorts the present; the present is actualized through the process of remembering. As John E Drabinski states in Glissant and the Middle Passage, “Memory is about the future. Perhaps memory is for the future.” Exploring memory through relation, the work Carissa creates coalesces material to articulate interwoven futures, imagined futures that encompass more than human history. Through memory, they interweave disparate connections between the self, the body, history, and the earth.

WSW Studio Intern Ollantay Avila Alcoceris a Mexican-American artist, designer, and writer from Dallas, Texas. Interested in ornamentation, collection, and annotation, her practice explores everyday design languages, motifs, and the ways in which we visually communicate identity. She challenges traditional notions of authorship and instead looks towards collaborative, DIY, and open-source communities and modes of making. Through writing and language, typography, photography, collage, and printmaking, she considers layered meanings and balances contradictions–irony and sincerity, efficiency and chaos, analog and digital–to capture a multitudinous, dissonant, yet thoughtful voice. In 2024, she graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from Rhode Island School of Design.
