SPRING 2025 RESIDENTIAL WORKSHOP WEEK

May 3 - May 8, 2025

A workshop at the Marlboro Studio School provides students with an immersive, uninterrupted learning experience.

Workshop classes are a chance to focus without the distractions of daily life, and to tap into the creative endeavors that sustain us all.  The Marlboro Studio School welcomes students to stay on campus for the duration of their stay, and area residents are also invited to participate as commuting Day Students.

Our Spring 2025 Cod Rib Canoebuilding Workshop spans the full length of the workshop week. The Basketry and Botanical Printmaking workshops can be taken in conjunction as a full week-long residency. Residential students taking both the Basketry and Botanical Printmaking workshops are welcome to stay in their campus accommodation for the single day off in between workshops to explore on their own and enjoy all the beauty our campus has to offer.
