WSW maintains hand papermaking, intaglio, letterpress, offset, silkscreen printing studios and a darkroom. WSW staff will provide technical advice, and when possible, help with editioning. The visiting artist will have approximately 20 student contact hours over one month. The curriculum will be devised by WSW staff based on some aspect of the visiting artist's work or book project. The curriculum and project are developed by WSW and the school teachers involved in the program.
Age groups vary from upper elementary through high school.
At the end of the program, a special exhibition takes place for the students, their teachers, parents and administrators. The visiting artist's contact hours with students will be approximately 5 hours a week for each of four weeks.
