Snow Farm: The New England Craft Program

Arts Center

Snow Farm: The New England Craft Program is proud to be the only residential, multidiscipline craft school in Massachusetts - and one of only a few in the US. We have exceptional artist-instructors who teach workshops from 2- to 5-days long in eight topic areas. Our 50-acre, farm-inspired campus nestled in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in western MA is beautiful in every season. 

Snow Farm is for YOU, a person who

  • Knows  the creative journey is more important than the destination
  • Dares to challenge yourself in mind, heart, and soul
  • Strives to learn throughout your life
  • Desires to connect with others from different places and experiences
  • Tries again and again, never giving up
  • Feels alive when the creative juices begin to flow
  • Realizes that making craft and art are intrinsic to your wellbeing.

Come to Snow Farm and take a step into the peaceful landscape, small class size, fresh homemade meals, and a community of like-minded people. Sink your hands into wet clay or feel the warmth of the glass furnace on your face. Tell a story in paint, carve a magical crature from wood, and let your imagination play. Restorative, inspirational, rejuvenating - these are the words you will use in your Snow Farm stories. 

Snow Farm Summer for High School Students offers students ages 14 - 18 an opportunity to live and work with professional artists for two or four weeks each summer. Students choose two areas of study and recieve six hours of daily instruction, plus open studio time in the evenings.
