In addition to a group activity, indivdiuals have requested use of the facility for independent studio time, allowing for a larger space to work in, a creative natural setting or time away from everyday demands. Several individuals have commented that they just want to come and sit on the decks to write/draw/knit/etc. Rates for individuals also include access to a community refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, and coffee pot.

Punch Cards

Be the first in your neighborhood to have one, sure to be all the rage...

With the advent of more individuals becoming familiar with the variety of tools, spaces and equipment available for use here at Whispering Woodlands, we have decided to offer a punch card system for your non-instructional individual work/studio time. Punch cards will be available for purchase in 10 hour increments, @ $10/hour. You choose when you want to use the time.  (2 hours here, 4 hours there, mornings, afternoons, evenings or weekends) Call or email to schedule and confirm, please don't just show up. Schedule yourself between the hours of 9 am and 9 pm. (Sorry, not 24/7!) You are welcome to call/email on the spur of the moment and as long as it works for both of us, great!

This may allow for when you find yourself with time on your hands to take a drive to the country, get inspired, recharged or just plain get away from the phone and computer. For some it may be a little piece of sanity in an otherwise hectic over scheduled day, week or month.

Restrictions may apply due to previously scheduled program dates/times, be dependent upon space availability, what you are looking to do or use and/or your personal experience level with studio/shop equipment (IE: Bunch flatbed press, Vandercook letterpress or Valley paper beater) Wavers will be necessary for use of specialized equipment.

Scheduled individualized instructional time will be available to those interested in learning the use of specialized equipment, at the rate of two punches per hour.
