How can i forget Women's Studio Workshop???…read more There's no way I could gush enough praise of this place that would come close to describing how wonderful it is! gosh, where do i start?? 1) The studios: They transformed an old hardware store from the 1800s into a two story art studio that includes areas for: paper-making, printmaking, letter pressing, bookbinding, ceramics, photography and silk screening. It's set in the woods and surrounded by nature 1 mile outside the small, Hudson Valley town of Rosendale, NY. 2) The artist opportunities: They offer fellowships, studio rentals, residencies, paid-internships and grants for artists (mainly women, but not exclusively female) to come use their studios and create work. --- I, myself, was accepted as a studio intern and lived and worked on the premises for 6 months in the fall of 2005. I learned more in that six months then i did in 4.5 years in art school. 3) Classes: For artists who don't have the time to take off 4-6 weeks to work as a fellow or resident The Summer Arts institute offers 3-5 day classes (lunch included) in all of the studios areas: paper-making, printmaking, letter pressing, bookbinding, ceramics, photography and silk screening. 4) The women: Ann, Tana and Anita (the founders and owners) are all talented artists, friendly, compassionate and inspiring women. ... for everything i missed their website is a wealth of additional detailed information on classes and artist opportunities: http://wsworkshop.org/ .... sigh... I have a little piece of my heart set aside for this place.

This location called me AFTER I had already dropped off my child to his 5-class session "Character…read moreToy Design" to let me know that another student canceled, therefore the course could not run due to low enrollment. Why they could not tell me earlier is beyond me, perhaps they wanted my child there to 'lock us in'. We attempted to cancel because, what is the point of attending 1 of 5 classes where no outcome could be possible (a 3D toy would be printed at the end). Madison gave us a hard time in canceling, would not refund in full, wanted to keep our 'enrollment fee', absolutely ridiculous. This business will do everything in their power to keep your money for services not rendered. I do not recommend and will boycott this location to the very end.
