The Onsite Studio program extends art-making activities that take place through our Apprentice Training Programs and Artist-in-Residence program to the school environment. FWM places a teaching artist with a partnering K–12 school in Philadelphia once a week for 5–10 sessions. We collaborate with teachers to design a project that reflects class curriculum and integrates the techniques FWM is best known for, such as screenprinting, sewing, and dyeing.
Onsite Studio residencies incorporate a field trip to FWM where students create in our professional screenprinting studio and visit our contemporary art galleries with an interactive guided tour. The program also encourages the organization of a culminating event, where the final project is presented and celebrated.
If you or your school is interested in participating, please contact Christina Roberts, Director of Education, at christina@fabricworkshopandmuseum.org or 215.561.8888.
