2019 Summer Residency in Pictures

The summer humidity has made way for crisp fall air as the last of our 2019 summer staff pack their cars and depart. We feel privileged to have spent the summer in the company of so many amazing artists and makers who took part in the 2019 summer residency. Please enjoy a few photos from each of the summer sessions.
