Well the Women's Studio Workshop of New York is holding a series of printmaking workshops at Antica Tenuta Le Casacce. This is a renovated 13th c. villa just outside the medieval town of Seggiano. There is plenty of time for class, siesta, swimming and hiking to explore the beautiful Tuscan countryside.

For those not familiar with WSW, they have been around since 1974, have offered Residencies for women artists since 1979, and they have sustained support from the National Endowment of the Arts since 2002. Their instructors are incredible and it is an excellent opportunity to work and network with your peers. 

As for WSW's US printing facility, they have a number of printing presses and can accomodate your needs in the following areas - etching, screen printing, letterpress, papermaking. Studio time can be rented, as well as tied in with a Residency. WSW is located in a picturesque mountain setting within the Shawangunk Mountains in the Hudson River Valley of NY. The studios are extensively equipped and well-maintained. Artists can take workshops, rent the studios, schedule private classes, or apply for grant opportunities. You are welcome to visit the studios before arranging work-time or signing up for workshops, please call ahead.
