Description
Women's Studio Workshop (WSW) offers eight- to ten-week residencies for artists to produce limited-edition book works. Artists print and bind their own books in WSW’s studios, with editions of 50–100 copies encouraged. The residency provides time, space, housing, and practical production support, including technical advice and training in equipment, techniques, and materials.
The program connects book production with archiving, distribution, and sales. Copies are divided among the artist, WSW’s archive and institutional sales, and general distribution under a sales contract finalized with the recipient. WSW’s artists’ books are held in more than 450 collections worldwide, including twelve repositories holding the majority of its collection.
