Each term, WSW hosts two studio interns who work directly with the Studio Manager. You’ll work on projects including printmaking, letterpress, papermaking, and book arts, in addition to assisting with the ongoing operations of the facility. Studio interns are crucial participants in WSW’s creative community. You’ll be asked to work hard, and in return will be encouraged, supported, and challenged in your artistic lives. http://bit.ly/1JhwqJS
