Call for Artists!

Purple Barn Studios in Pittsburgh is accepting artist workshop proposals for one and two-day workshops (Oct 2011 – Nov 2013) in polymer clay, fiber arts, book arts, painting, collage, journaling, mixed media, or other art mediums.

Purple Barn Studios is moving into a quaint two-story house in the south hills of Pittsburgh at 717 Millers Run Rd. It is the teaching/working studio of mixed media artist, Sydney Wellman. The gallery, studio/workshop, kitchen, and powder room are on the first floor; upstairs are three bedrooms and bath w/shower - perfect lodging for female students who need overnight accommodations. (Additional accommodations just 3 min. away). Instructors stay on-site in a private room.
The entire studio is air-conditioned and non-smoking.

General workshop structure:

Workshops generally occur on weekends
Time: 9am to 5pm (w/lunch break)
Material Fees: Additional fees are due on the first day of the workshop, payable directly to the instructor
Workshop Size: The studio area can seat 10 students, and each will have their own table. The number of students depends on the type of workshop and the instructor’s preferences.
