The Eureka Springs School of the Arts is looking for practicing woodworkers and craftspeople seeking focused time to refine their abilities, create new work, and expand their knowledge in a Mentored Residency under Master Woodcrafter, Doug Stowe. This will be a participant driven mentorship where you can ask for guidance on woodworking topics of your choice and gain the skills to forge your own individual path as a craftsperson. Doug Stowe is the author of 15 books, including The Wisdom of Our Hands: Crafting a Life. This residency will benefit woodworkers interested in pursuing a journey or career in the craft of woodworking. This is an opportunity for selected residents to be inspired by the Ozark Mountains' incredible natural beauty and unique culture. ESSA is within 5 miles of the renowned artist community of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. The ESSA campus offers world class facilities and comfortable private lodging for our residents, tucked peacefully away from the distractions of the outside world. Experience in woodworking is required, and seats will be awarded based on a review of all completed applications.
