Black Pond Studio hosts workshops in painting, drawing and other disciplines in a newly constructed solar-powered barn; the space has abundant natural and studio light. The barn/studio sits on 40 acres of meadow, forest and wetlands in rural southeastern Massachusetts, about a 20-minute drive from Providence, Rhode Island, and about 60 minutes from Boston, Massachusetts. A spring-fed pond is steps from the barn.

RECORDING POLICY:
Online classes at Black Pond are designed to be interactive. The voices of all participants are vital to the experience. In addition, we seek to protect the intellectual property of our instructors. For these reasons, we generally do not record online meetings. If you are registered for a workshop and need to miss a meeting, please contact us (not your instructor) via email at blackpondstudio@gmail.com, 24 hours in advance, to request a recording of that meeting. Recordings are available for 48 hours.
We do not record entire workshops.
OFFERINGS at Black Pond include workshops that meet for one week, as well as weekend and weekly sessions.
CATHERINE KEHOE and NANCY McCARTHY host and lead workshops; guest artists with diverse backgrounds and approaches are also invited to teach.
