From traditional woodworking to where sculpture, painting, digital technology, and furniture making cross-pollinate and blur categories— this summer’s workshops offer a wide spectrum of approaches and techniques. Whether you identify as an artist, designer or craftsperson, as a beginner, amateur or professional, you’ll find a workshop that speaks your language and challenges your assumptions. We limit workshop enrollment and provide highly qualified assistants to give each student maximum personal attention. What began 40 years ago as an effort to support artists has flourished into a resource of national reputation and significance. The work created at the Ranch speaks for itself; it has an enduring appeal. The Ranch believes in the importance of the individual artist. Here we put the art making process first. We honor your creativity. It’s why we exist. Come join us!
The Maloof Wood Barn has first-rate equipment and features a large machine room, bench rooms, a spacious design studio and a turning studio. Students in furniture construction classes each have a European-style work bench and tool storage. The loft studio, used for design and interdisciplinary work shops, is equipped with workbenches and light woodworking equipment. The turning studio is outfitted with nine lathes and a set of tools at each station. Since 1966 Anderson Ranch Arts

community and an atmosphere dedicated to the highest aesthetic
values. Our faculty is comprised of established artists and gifted teachers from throughout the country.

Our workshops are planned and coordinated by talented program directors and coordinators, working artists who are dedicated to the success of your time at the Ranch. They are supported by studio managers and interns who are second to none and joined by an administrative staff that strives to make your experience flawless. All of this happens in a well-equipped, state-of-the art facility in one of the most beautiful regions in the country.
