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:
Our online workshops are designed to be live and interactive.
We do not record online meetings.
This policy protects the intellectual property of the artists who teach at Black Pond.
(If you are registered for a workshop and need to miss a meeting, please contact us in advance to request a recording of that meeting)
We do not record entire workshops for participants in time zones where it is difficult to attend live meetings. If you are in such a time zone, we recommend that you plan to attend the live Zoom meetings.
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.
