Since 1974 the Women’s Studio Workshop in Rosendale, New York, has provided classes and support encouraging the creation of artists’ books. Frequently produced on historic equipment, the printing of artists’ books has been a major force in the preservation of historic printing equipment as well as in the founding of centers providing public access to printing and training on historic equipment. The Women’s Studio Workshop is one of the largest publishers of artists’ books in addition to originating exhibitions and providing lectures around the country.
