Artist-in-residence now available at Wendell Castle Workshop! Wendell Castle Workshop
The residency is intended to give artists working in wood* an inspiring and expertly equipped environment to work on one or more specific projects. Candidates must be capable of using WCW equipment independently. The residency environment is conducive to individual work, but the studio space is communal. There may be one to four residents at a time at the Wendell Castle Workshop. There will be a part-time staff person to help with any equipment or WCW-related questions during the work day. A safety orientation will take place with all pieces of equipment during the first few days. Participants are encouraged to leave behind one work as a donation to the nonprofit. Residents are invited to give a public talk near the end of their residencies to tell community members about their experience.
