About

All facilities and artist studios are located in repurposed dairy barns and houses throughout SAW’s 119.4 acre campus in rural upstate New York. Both individual and shared studio spaces are available, allowing artists to work in a private or communal setting. SAW is a former dairy farm, and as such, facilities are rustic and greatly affected by the environment and weather. A limited number of indoor studios are available for artists whose equipment, materials, or work would be negatively impacted by open air studios. Movable walls, changeable lighting, and additional furnishings are also available to create effective work spaces anywhere on SAW’s grounds.

SAW’s resources are available for use by all artists, regardless of discipline. Artist safety is top priority. Prior to use of equipment and facilities we ask that artists review rules and safety guidelines. Technical assistance is always available for artists who are unfamiliar with any equipment. One-on-one tutorials are available upon request for artists and guests who desire further instruction, for an additional fee.

SAW staffs and manages Glass, Ceramics, Blacksmithing, Welding, and Metalcasting Studios on site, each directed by a year-round SAW artist. Find out more by linking out to each individual studio below.
