Summer 2008

Haystack provides a unique environment: an artist-centered community supporting focused energy and work in a stunning natural setting.

Our deadline has passed for regular enrollment, but we have openings in selected workshops and short wait lists in other sessions. We also have space in our Summer Conference, The Language of Craft.

Please note that a lot of workshops that are full have no waiting list or very short waiting lists. If you wish to apply to any of the workshops that are full, please send in an application form WITHOUT the $35 application fee. Also write WAIT LIST on the bottom of the form.

Developing new ideas and new ways of seeing are central to Haystack’s mission. When you take a workshop at Haystack, you will be able to work in the studios day and night, that you will have time to experiment and discover, and be a part of an intensive and supportive community of learners. We hope to see you this summer!
