OUR STORY
The Marlboro Studio School is an institution focused on supporting artists at every stage of their careers through a range of community classes, residential workshops taught by visiting instructors, and long- and short-term artist residencies.
Our home base in the visual arts facilities on the 500+ acre Potash Hill campus in Marlboro, Vermont, offers exceptional opportunities in the craft and art education field: studio facilities, housing, dining, a retreat-like environment, and a welcoming community.
As the world continues to speed up, the Marlboro Studio School celebrates the slow and deliberate, and highlights what it means to engage in making special objects by hand. This is a place where students can find contrast to the standard pace of life and tune out distractions while tuning in to their creativity.
