(Artists here for short-term residency are not eligible for work trade.)

Work tasks change seasonally and are typically labor intensive, please keep this in mind when planning how you will spend your time here. Work exchange responsibilities include, but are not limited to, physical labor maintaining the forestland including brush clearing and burning, and invasive plant species eradication. Using the splitter or an axe to prepare firewood is an ongoing task here, this is often much of the work needed. Tending to food gardens including weeding, planting, and maintaining. General landscaping; weed whacking, raking, etc. Assisting in construction projects on-site or in the studio. Some other less frequent tasks may be helping with the website or online gallery, preparing for events, assisting workshops, and maintaining communal spaces in the studio.

Residents are responsible for their own materials and firing expenses.
