I was the Marketing Director at WSW for several years beginning in the late 80s and left there in 1992. While there I also started a ceramics program and took classes in papermaking, photography, book arts, and monoprint. It was a great experience and has informed my work life ever since. I also returned there as a ceramics fellow in 2006. What a great experience! The Workshop is always buzzing with creativity and imagination and ideas, and to swim in its ocean of energy and intelligence has nurtured so many people.

I had the most wonderful experience with Women's Studio Workshop as an arts administration intern from 2007-2008. I learned so much about how a non-profit functions, from attending weekly staff meetings, to building on an amazing database of artists and supporters, to sharing a pot-luck lunch every day with whoever was at the workshop that day. There are such amazing women running the workshop and they welcome every artist with a supportive workspace, expert staff and wonderful teaching. In addition, the arts-in-education program brings elementary and high school aged students to experience the printmaking, papermaking and book arts studios with hands-on projects. This place is truly magical and needs recognition for its hard work providing a very special and unique place of art making.
