The Ranch sponsors 14 artists ten-week residencies each winter, in ceramics, woodworking, digital art, painting and printmaking.  I shared the generous printmaking studio with artist Johanna Mueller. I made new digital prints on Gozen Japanese washi in the digital studio to print with woodblock. I have also worked in their woodworking shop to create new work on panels.
