"Women's Studio Workshop is a visual arts organization with specialized studios in printmaking, hand papermaking, ceramics, letterpress printing, photography, and book arts. Artists are invited to work at WSW as a part of our Fellowship Program, Artists' Books Grants, Residencies, Internships, or to learn new skills in our Summer Arts Institute and community workshop series.

Artists' Books

Women's Studio Workshop has been publishing artists' books since 1979. WSW took a leadership role in the emergence of the genre by initiating the book arts grant program over 30 years ago and today WSW IS the largest publisher of hand printed artists' books in the country."


 

Ashes

embers and ashes
vivid and warm

burn the hand that attempts to hold them.

ashes and embers

starving, fade away

flames too hot to remember.

ashes and ashes

cold and tired

no spark of recollection in them.

ashes and change

dust away, deep below

one flicker remains.

ashes and scars

time and friction

ignition.

handful of caution,

there is light.
