Eureka 2017 Workshops Springs School of The Arts ESSA-ART.ORG 1 From our executive director Dear ESSA friends, When I first started working as ESSA’s Executive Director ten years ago, we had one building that served all needs…workshop space, ad- ministrative office, and dining area. All of our wood workshops were held at another location in town and when we started offering blacksmith- ing and metal fabrication workshops, we held them outside behind our main building that was nestled on less than an acre of land. Today, we have a 55 acre campus and our latest addition of a woodworking studio gives us the balance we’ve been dreaming about for years. We now Table of Contents have studio space for painting and drawing, clay building and throwing, jewelry making and the creation of small metal objects, blacksmithing and metal fabricating, weaving and working Workshop Info...........................................3 Master Schedule....................................4-5 with textiles, leather crafting, and now…wood turning and wood working.
